1981 Bill Tice Peach Nylon Jersey Long Sleeve Deep Plunge Dress w Gold Lame Flower & Trim
I have had a one shoulder version of this Bill Tice dress that had the same gold lame flower detail but this is the first time I have seen this exact design. The dress is not 100% perfect but I am hoping that its amazing design will still tempt someone to give it a second life and love it. It is made of a liquid nylon jersey that feels amazing on and has the added bonus of traveling very well. It is the kind of piece you can throw into your suit case and slip on with either flats or heels when you reach some far off destination and be ready to go. The dress is cut to be long and slim but in a loose and skimming over the body kind of way. The sleeves are long and they start off with a big poufed shoulder created by gathering in the fabric in soft pleats around the arm. They then slim down as they reach the wrist and the edge is trimmed with gold lame piping. The neckline plunges extremely deep and is anchored by one of his twisted jersey and gold knotted flowers. There is a little hook about 2" inches above the flower if you want to be a touch less scandalous but I left it with the full plunge open for these shots. The dress gathers up and into the knot and this allows it to be more to the open and loose side around the waist and hips as the jersey drapes down and around your body. A slit runs up the front from the curved hem and this allows a bit of leg to show when you walk or sit. Besides the knot and cuffs, the neckline and arm seams are also accented by a touch of gold lame. Excellent condition with one flaw noted below.
Unlined and slips on to wear. The easy fit should allows it to work on a variety of sizes. The fabric has a bit of stretch. There is a run on the jersey on the front left side. Because of the way that it folds and wraps it at first glance just looks like a fold. Completely wear able if you don't mind that it is not 100% perfect and priced at 1/2 of what it would be without this small flaw. The measurements below are lying flat without stretching the fabric
