Holiday ready, perfect for you to wear with everything from leggings to an evening skirt, this fully beaded top was Made in India, for the Papell Boutique Evening line. Vintage 1980's, this never worn Adrianna Papell beaded event-ready blouse is a fitted short sleeve top with shiny gold, red and green beads on a solid black silk exterior fabric. All the original paper hang tags are still attached, plus an extra bag of beads in the event you ever need them.

Although this is marked as a size Medium, please use these measurements to determine if it will fit you. Remember that sizing has changed quite a bit over the years.

Shoulder to shoulder is 16 and 1/2 inches.
Armhole opening is 21 and 1/4 inches.

Bust is 36 inches.
Waist is 29 and 1/2 inches.
Full length is 21 and 1/2 inches where a gentle curve dips slightly lower in front and back.
Hemline width is 36 inches.

An 18 inch long back zipper makes this easy to get on and off, plus there is a top hook and eye at the back neckline.

Ready to make you feel festive at a moment's notice, the allover beaded floral design is lovely.

A top like this compliments a long or short skirt and pants of almost any type.

Because this is from the 1980's there are internal shoulder pads. They are lightly attached in only two places, so it would be easy to remove them for a more natural shoulder line.

Fully lined in black polyester, this vintage beaded top is in Mint Pristine As New condition.

Closeups are included of the beading detail so you can see it for yourself.

A view of the back is shown in the last picture.

Adrianna Papell designs are still made and sold in most major department stores. Women love the fit and styles made by this designer and that explains why the company is still in business.

This comes to you from a home with no pets and no smokers.

It was stored well by the original owner so there are no stains, odors or issues at all to report.
