Elegant Chantilly Lace Cocktail Dress by Karen Stark for Harvey Berin

lace over silk is a showstopper! The lace itself features a large swirling floral pattern that

is lined with black silk satin on the bodice and horizontal stripes of black and hot pink

satin beneath the skirt. The effect is elegant and eye catching.

The overall condition is very good with only one tiny break noted in the lace next to

the back closure. Closure is with metal zipper and hooks and eyes with tiny snaps at

the wrists. Clean and ready to wear.

A truly magnificent dress!

Bust ~ 32"
