.. Miami based LIllie Rubin specialized in "special occasion" dresses and gowns for the second half of the last century. They were not innovators, but they did produce some very lovely items over the years.
.. This little gem is very, very fabulous. It is made from two layers of emerald green silk chiffon with a light green silk lining.
.. The bodice is covered in gold mesh, and completely encrused in gold metallic embroidery, beads and a few sequins. Some fo the metallic threads tend to catch on the chiffon, so take care to keep the bodice covered when storing to avoid damage.
..There is a little peep hole at the base of the bodice, above the empire waist.
.. The bottom is actually pants. I know it seems insane to use so much chiffon, but yes, these are wide leg pants that flow like the wind.
