Description: This exquisite 1980s Zandra Rhodes evening dress exemplifies the designer's signature maximalist aesthetic. Crafted in luxurious peach silk chiffon, the columnar silhouette showcases an extraordinary array of hand-applied embellishments—intricate appliqué ribbons, delicate embroidery, shimmering bugle beads, and iridescent sequins. The scoop neckline is elegantly finished with opalescent pearls, while the short sleeves feature overlapping bands with strategic cutouts that create a sophisticated cage effect. The dramatic plunging back is anchored by criss-cross straps, adding architectural interest and movement. A museum-quality piece that captures the opulence and artistry of Rhodes' celebrated design legacy.
