Funny Girl Irene Sharaff Beaded Gown Columbia, 1968 Full length, long sleeved evening dress with a low cut bodice and empire style waist. Constructed in layers, there is a fine silk under-shell with an over-lay of chiffon netting heavily encrusted with sequins and rhinestones in various motifs. The very bottom of the dress has a layer of crinoline and a double layer of silk under dress which gives the bottom a full appearance. The sleeves feature snaps as does the entire back of the over-lay. There are no labels. It was designed by Academy Award winning costume designer Irene Sharaff, whose work was featured in both the Broadway and film versions. The dress is seen in two variations in the film. The first has a cape like train attached to the back. This dress, which does not have the cape attachment, is seen without the cape on screen when Barbra as Fanny Brice falls asleep in the ship's cabin waiting for Nick Arnstein, played by Omar Sharif, to return from his poker game and announce their engagement. There is one seam tear at bottom area, otherwise excellent condition.
