Late 1960s / early 70s Gold Lurex Beaded Loris Azzaro Dress - As Seen on Tina Turner

I hardly know where to begin with this absolutely mind-blowing piece. This fantastically rare Loris Azzaro dress is made of a somewhat stretchy gold lurex knit and covered in beads so that every time you move in it you feel like the sexiest of Christmas trees! Haha. But I mean it, this baby is HOT. I mean, you can see it in the photos but until you wear it you won't fully understand.

I have done loads and loads, and I do mean loads, of research on this dress and the only other pictures I can find of Azzaro beaded dress are the ones of Tina. There are plenty of beaded tops but not a single other dress! It's crazy.

Tina Turner wore a shorter version of this model at her performance on the Smothers Brothers show in 1969. You can see her making it shake on YouTube!

The dress is in great vintage condition, with just a few signs of wear over her 50+ years. A couple of beads are missing here and there, and there's one place in the back where it was repaired. You can see this in photo 8. But when the dress is on it's impossible to notice.

 The dress in its natural state is size S but since the Lurex knit is a bit stretchy, the below measurements are at the safe and comfortable maximum. Don't hesitate if you have any questions!

Bust : up to 36 in

Waist : up to 34 in

Hips : up to 38 in

The length from shoulders is 37 inches.
