Handel's "ORLANDO"
Original Sketches from Designer Michael Stennett
(don't come with the gown)
#5913 - c. 1986 JUNE
ANDERSON Stage Worn Opera Gown and Original Massive Slip! This
EXTRAORDINARY, SUMPTUOUS gown arrived to me from the owner and WOWed
me! And as you can see from my website, it takes a lot to WOW me!!! The gown weighs an astonishing 9 pounds and
the half slip under weighs ANOTHER 9 pounds!!! I have no idea
how they moved in these gowns, but they did! I have photos
(don't come with the gown, just up on the website) of the original sketches by
Michael Stennett (thank you Michael!!). The gown is in a
wearable size of 35" bust, 27" waist and 41" long from waist to hem
in front, 70" long in back. Excellent condition!! This
gown was designed by Mr. Stennett for Susan Patterson and created by
the San Francisco Opera Company, and then worn by June Anderson the
following year for the same production. June Anderson's
name is inside the gown, and Susan Patterson's name is inside the
slip. Huge gold bullion tassels hang down the front, metallic
embroidered fabrics.... just a masterpiece! Breathtaking!
