Extravagantly Beaded, Whimsical Malcolm Starr 60's Shift Dress
British Crown Colony of Hong Kong

This 1960's dress from Malcolm Starr is wonderfully naive, with patchwork embroidery employing unusually shaped sequins, rhinestones, beading and even colorful wool yarn! This piece is sure to be a conversation piece at any party! Marked a vintage size 14, but check measurements as it may have been altered over the years.

Malcolm Starr made a popular line of evening dresses from the early 1960s through the 1970s. A Malcolm Starr dress was commonly a sculptural and simple shift dress which was elaborately beaded and sequined.
