**1960s Doreen Loh Beaded Evening Skirt – Size 2**

**Product Description**

A standout example of midcentury Hong Kong tailoring, this 1960s Doreen Loh column
skirt is crafted in a rich ruby-red fabric and painstakingly hand-beaded with tonal
seed beads, bugle beads, sequins, and pink faceted stones arranged in a swirling
firework motif. Fully lined and impeccably structured, it sits high on the waist
and drapes straight to the ankle in a flattering column silhouette.

Originally sold at the iconic Peninsula Hotel arcade boutique, this piece is a rare
archival treasure from the golden era of bespoke tailoring in postcolonial Hong 
Kong. The beading is dense and luxe, with a touch of shine that makes this a killer
option for formalwear or elevated editorial styling.

**Styling Notes**

Style it with a cropped jacket or crystalized mesh top à la Paco Rabanne for a contemporary
editorial look. For vintage purists, pair with a Mandarin-collar silk blouse and
satin pumps for a 1960s Shanghainese supper club fantasy.
