Mary McFadden is probably my Favorite Libra...next to my close friend Nina of course! A native New Yorker, born in 1938, true to her astrological sign, her clothing exemplifies a need to have and maintain harmony and balance. Has anyone ever met a Libra who wasn't all about about Beauty and surrounding themselves with Luxury and all things aesthetically pleasing ? Weather this means actually owning the best that money has to offer or just spending days on end in the Musée du Louvre...Now combine all this with Mary McFadden's fascination with fabric, the Russian Imperial court and impeccable attention to detail and Voila! You have one Fantastic looking gown. Truly breathtaking in all respects...from the intricately Beaded Bodice which is adorned with sequins, bugle beads and heavily embroidered flowers down to the long Sumptuous Mediterranean blue Pleated Fortuny like skirt. Mint Mint condition. Listed as a size 8 will accommodate a modern size 6-8. These gowns, Especially in Unworn condition, are a collectors delight and extremely hard to find. This gown and the pink one like it originally retailed for $6000...and worth every penny back then and now ! Comes complete with all original labels.
