With sparkly beaded designs from the asymmetrical neckline to the hem, this fancy long designer dress shines in the spotlight whether you are attending prom, a gala, or another formal event

I was familiar with gimp used as trimming for traditional furniture and curtains and clothing- I was amazed to learn it is a longstanding adornment- it has been embellishing textiles for over five hundred years

The bodice is decorated with silver trims, sequins and sparkles and give the effect of a regal costume

The showstopping element is the oversized draped bow cascading down the center back, a hallmark of 1940s evening wear sophistication
