#6381 - c. 1991 EAVIS & BROWN, London, Fully Beaded "Basketweave" Dress! The Same Dress Worn by Nicollette Sheridan at the Golden Globe Awards!  This is one of those dresses I just had to have for this website.  First off, Eavis & Brown (if you don't know!), was the designer for Heather Mills' wedding to Paul McCartney. They have also created red carpet gowns for Halle Berry, Sandra Bullock, Beyonce, Dame Helen Mirren at the 2005 Emmys, and even Donald Trump's sister for his latest wedding!  This SAME Eavis & Brown elaborately beaded "basketweave" off-the-shoulder dress was worn by Nicollette Sheridan at the 1991 Golden Globe awards with her then husband, Harry Hamlin. This dress weighs a ton - over 6 pounds!!  Every inch beaded on off-white silk satin with tiny silver seed beads, faux pearls, and studded rhinestones in chiffon flower bud ornaments!  Extremely elaborate "basketweave" design!   The mannequin doesn't have arms, so I can't show it worn off the shoulder, but meant to be just off.  Nicollette went a bit lower! :)  Extremely full scalloped edged skirt dips down at back of dress, so it's above the knee at front, and (on me) mid-calf at back!  Possibly wonderful worn as a wedding dress as is, or (to be really different) wear a longer skirt under for the ceremony and remove for the reception!  Then PAR-TY!  Excellent condition, near mint!  This must have cost many thousands of dollars new... easily $10,000 as this is the top of the line from Eavis & Brown, more fully beaded than any other I've seen! Measures: 36" bust, 30" waist, 33" long from shoulder to hem in front, 42" long in back.
