Description

Whitney Houston's dazzling personally-owned black-and-silver beaded floor-length evening gown, featuring a sheer dark gray chiffon body over a silvery base, intricately beaded wide-petaled flower designs in navy blue and silver all over, and delicate floral beadwork borders on the top and bottom. In very good to fine condition, with evidence of wear and use, including some staining to the lining, and fraying and bead loss to one of the thin shoulder straps. An ornate and impressive piece of Houston's personal wardrobe.
