Daphne Castle's (Maggie Smith) cocktail hour dress from Guy Hamilton's Agatha Christie adaptation Evil Under the Sun. Daphne wore her dress during a brief scene where she is seen sitting on a sofa during cocktail hour.

The floor-length gown is made from a silver chain-mail-like fabric. It features an ornate high neckband, black chiffon sleeves decorated with a silver-striped pattern, and champagne coloured mesh sections emulating cut-outs down the arms. There are two zips down the back, and a supportive bodysuit is sewn within the garment. The weighty dress is fragile and displays signs of wear and age, including holes on the mesh fabric and plucked threads on the sleeves.

Estimate: £600 - 800 M
