Way back in 1986 I visited a friend in Washington Heights in
New York City.
I was walking down a city street and happened to look down a tiny alley where I saw a broken cardboard box all jumbled with junk.
I zipped down the alley and pulled out a classic little black dress what was zhushed up with this incredble rhinestone and pearl neckline!
I took the dress and a couple of other crumpled looking things and brought them home with me.
The dress did not fit me so I clipped the neckline off and used it on a costume that I wore a couple of times. Then I kind of lost the neckline. It floated around my house for a couple of decades and now it has reappeared and I'm offering it to you!
I cannot imagine how long it must have taken to make it. I'm certain it is a handmade piece. high quality There must be thousands of tiny clear beads as well as gorgeous pearls and hang-y down parts!
It measures 20 inches from closure to tip of the longest hang-y down bit.
There are a few rhinestones missing from the back near the closure. (See last photo)
I did have fun with this! Now it's time for someone else to have fun with it.
