Egyptian Art Dress

This unique straight shortsleeved dress is a work of art in itself. It has colorful paintings done in gold, black, blue, and pink, from the neck almost to the hemline.
Paintings include the Egyptian style collar necklace, two heads of Nefertiti, the lotus flower, head of Tutankhamun, three pyramids, a sphinx, four camels, the sun, two palm trees, and more. There are quite a number of dark iridescent beads and silver sequins sewn on throughout. The dress appears to be made of rayon. I found this treasure in an LA thrift store for only $6.00. I can wear it and/or hang it on the wall as art.   The earrings are red feathers with smaller black and white feather from an LA 99 Cent Only store. Silver colored metal bangle bracelets  are from an LA Wal-Mart  for $5.00. The gorgeous ring of red stone surrounded by large faux diamonds is from a 99 Cent Only store in LA. The lovely faux diamond  and silver bracelet has a beautifully real look  and I've had it for years from a Va. Wal-Mart store.    The shoes were a $5.00 thrift store find. The gold genuine leather open toe, 3 inch heels, open on each side but with gold metal side straps and closed heel, are by Equity Evening Wear and made in England continues the gold theme of the dress.
