This is a gorgeous dress by collectible designer Diane Freis in a lovely floral print of pink roses and purple iris accented with green stems and leaves on a royal blue background.

The roses, iris, and leaves of the bodice and sleeves are accented with hand beading done with iridescent pink, purple and dark green round and bugle beads.

The crystal pleated skirt is not beaded.

Diane Freis dresses were sold in the finest department stores including Saks, Nordstorm, and Neiman Marcus.

The v-neckline is accented with coordinating pink dot print on royal blue piping and a center front rosette with color coordinated beads as pictured. The dropped waist is accented with a band of the same dot print fabric.

Gorgeous signature Diane Freis ruffled collar.

This dress is unlined.

Below the elbow sleeves feature cased elastic cuffs. Shoulder pads which can be easily removed with a few snips of the scissors.

DESIGNER LABEL: Diane Freis Original / 100% Polyester Georgette

SIZING: There are no size tags. Based on the measurements below, I'd say this would best fit a modern size Large to Extra Large depending on how you like your fit.

Please note this is shown clipped to fit my size Medium mannequin and will fall much better on the proper sized body.

MEASUREMENTS:

Dropped Shoulders: 14-1/4"

Outer Sleeve: 19-3/4" - shoulder seam to sleeve end

Inner Sleeve: 16-1/2"

Bust: Up to 41"

Waist: 39"

Hips: 44 Plus due to Pleating

Bodice Length: 25" - Top of Shoulder to Top of Inset Dot Print Waistband

Skirt Length: 28" Plus 1-1/2" Waistband

CONDITION: Very Good - no fading, discoloration, holes, rips, odors, missing or loose beads, or other issues. The fabric is very strong and not thin or stressed.

The only thing is the elastic at the cuffs and the dropped contrast print waistband have lost their stretch.
