Collection item
Velvet cocktail dress with bead trim
This beautiful gown belonged to Hilaire Field's husband's aunt Una Harper. She was a very elegant lady and usually wore Colin Cole, Bruce Papas or El Jay. Most of her things were made for her and she always had matching accessories such as handbag, sunglasses, earrings, necklace and bracelets which is a style of dressing that has now almost disappeared.
