This vintage Sue Wong beaded silk chiffon dress is so classic Sue Wong, from the bias-cut silk chiffon to the artful beadwork. It is from the designer's "Nocturne" label. Sue Wong began her fashion career as a designer for other popular brands, eventually leaving to start her own business, notably designing one-of-a-kind dresses with details cut from vintage clothing particularly from the 1920s and 1930s. This dress's chest has cups built in the interior, and the bias-cut is super flattering, all creating an hourglass shape with the help of the handkerchief hemline. Godets below the drop waist create this fluttering look at the asymmetrical hem, giving romantic fairy vibes. In addition to the masterful cut of the dress, Sue Wong really used trompe l'œil beading and embellishment to create a flattering shape. The straps are adjustable, which is so helpful in getting the perfect fit.
