Glitzy Silver-Gold-Copper Cowl Neck Evening Gown (Large)
Glitzy Silver-Gold-Copper Cowl Neck Evening Gown (Large)
I created this spectacular evening gown for a New Year's Eve that got canceled due to snowstorm. Where I found this amazing fabric escapes my memory - but it is something else...blending subtly from silver at the top to a soft gold, to deeper gold, to almost a copper at the hemline. This is a fairly lightweight metallic knit, so I underlined the upper portion with swimwear lining - shown in two of the photos.
I used a Vogue pattern to style it - with a graceful cowl neckline, and attractive angled seaming in the midriff. The skirt is asymmetric with a soft curve up at the left side.
The fabric did have a subtle flaw - see my finger pointing to it in one of the pictures, but I was able to locate it at the backside. Honestly, if I didn't mention it, you'd likely never notice. However, this is why I priced this spectacular garment at just $85 instead of much higher.

Please check Finished Garment Measurements as found below against those of a similar garment in your wardrobe of which you like the fit. I want you to be happy with your purchase from me, so 'A Londa Original' garments (except Sweatshirt Jacket Makeovers) are returnable - see my Return Policy.
FIBER CONTENT: polyester/lycra/metallic Generally metallic fibers drive me crazy - thus an additional reason that I lined the bodice. It did not seem to bother me during fittings, at the neckline and around the armholes, but I mention it because if you are sensitive to metallic fibers, you likely want to pass on this garment.
CARE: I recommend dry cleaning. Not because the fabric is not washable, it's just that the metallic character of it - to me, deserves dry clean care.
