Authentic vintage 1970s Paulette Buraud French designer heavy sequin floor-length evening gown. Rare collectible shimmering black, gold, and silver statement dress featuring a wide scoop neckline and dramatic flared skirt.
This striking vintage evening gown by French designer Paulette Buraud dates to the 1970s and is entirely covered in sequins in black, gold, and silver. The sequins are applied on a stretchy black base, creating a shimmering surface with significant visual impact. The dress features a wide scoop neckline at both the front and back, three-quarter length sleeves, and a flared, floor-length skirt. Due to the dense, high-quality sequin work, the gown has a substantial weight that lends it a beautiful, dramatic drape. It closes at the back with a zipper and a metal hook and eye, and is fully lined except for the sleeves. Made in France.
A bold and exceptional piece of vintage evening wear, ideal for formal occasions and collectors alike.
