Bruce Oldfield is of course best known for dressing Lady Diana but has dressed countless other celebrity and women of influence. This is a stunning and dramatic gown made of a red silk and topped with a golf foil lame inset. The inset dramatically shaped and molds the body and I love how it is worked right through the front and back. Stunning and in excellent condition.
Lined in tissue silk through the bodice only. Closes with a series of hook & eye and snaps hidden at one top shoulder seam and a side zipper. Ships professionally dry cleaned.

Love this simple yet dramatic gold silk brocade fitted gown by Mr Blackwell. It has classic line that are cut to follow a girls curve. A simple scooped back and a low back give it a bit of added sexiness. Love the sweet little bow at the dip of the back V. It is a good wearable size and well made - parts of the hem are weighted!
Lined in a nude silky rayon and closes with a back painted metal zipper. There is some loss to the vertical threads here and there - it presents well but upon close inspection you can see areas where only the cross threads are present. Priced accordingly and has tons of wear left so is a smoking bargain!

Rocco Barocco is a famous Italian designer that is still designing today under the RoccoBarocco label. That is his second line however, with his first foray into fashion executed under the more simple Barocco label of which this dress is from. This label only existed from 1968 to 1974 and pieces were extremely high end and well made. This is a stunning day dress that has a hint of what Valentino is doing now to it. A fine printed silk chiffon skims the body with pretty ruffle detailing. Hand covered silk buttons close the front and a satin sash is attached at the waist. Feminine and gorgeous! The construction is to couture level finish. Excellent condition.
Lined in fine tissue silk except for the sleeves. Closes with a series of hand covered silk buttons at the front, Hand set elastic at the cuffs. Hand finished inside. Exquisitely made!

The Tiktiner label was founded by Dina Tiktiner Viterbo in France in 1949 and eventually honed their aesthetic to to suit the needs of the jet set that spent most of their time on the beaches and night scene of the Cote d'Azur. Their pieces were high quality and were dedicated to style mixed with ease. This is a lovely piece that exemplifies just that with the use of its light weight jersey fabric that has been customs screened beautifully. The top is fitted and lean and the skirt flows to the floor with the volume created by the opening of flat pleats that circle the waist. Excellent condition.

This deep chocolate crepe dress by Jean Muir really for me showcases what I love best about her. The cut is simple yet dramatic and the fabric choice is fabulous. The color is a deep rich chocolate. All the interest is done through her signature top stitching and slanted and angular seaming that is so reminiscent of seaming done in the thirties. Love how each sleeve tapers at the cuff. Attached tie at the neck and the most fabulous floral buttons ever!
Slips over the head and closes with a buttons at the front. Hidden pockets along each side seam. Unlined. One small repair to the front near the hem that does not detract.

This is a fantastic and beautiful early 1960s dress by Oscar De La Renta! It is shockingly light - I know it looks like it should not be with all that insanely fabulous gold - at first glance it appears to be a brocade, but the fabric is actually a light weight silk georgette, through which gold thread has been worked in so that the entire piece glows. The design on the fabric is glorious - corals, reds and even shots of pink are set against a black backdrop. The collar is pointed and chic and the front has a sexy V. The skirt is amazing - big squares of gold top a bold patterned hem. Current Oscar De La Renta pieces can fetch many thousands so buying a vintage piece is a excellent alternative and a smart investment move as well. The original belt is present and both pieces appear to be unworn. Excellent condition

Made of a stunning printed silk taffeta with a custom design screened onto it. The front has a deep plunge built in sweetheart neckline that extend into straps that go over each shoulder. The waist is nipped in for that perfect hourglass silhouette. The skirt is very full and has a built in underskirt - it is photographed here with an additional light crinoline added but even without is very full. The waist has this incredible tiny pleat detail all the way around that both give the wearer shape and also allow the skirt to be very full once these pleats release. A stunner and in excellent condition.
The bodice is lined with a cotton backing and the skirt has an attached stiffened underskirt. There is the faintest of marks under the arms that are more visible in the inside then the out but because of the print you really really have to look for it specifically - I would say it presents perfectly. The original belt is included. It does have a darkening to the buckle but also present well.Closes with a back painted metal zipper.

A stunning floral printed silk dress by Madeleine Fauth is like a breath of fresh air. It is constructed out of that fine scarf weight silk that is just the best quality possible! The front and back neckline have a subtle scoop and the bodice tapers to a nipped in waist. The skirt is very full and has a built in hip underskirt that is tightly pleated so it adds extra shape! It is photographed here with an additional light crinoline added but even without is very full. The exterior waist has this incredible tiny, rounded pleat detail all the way around that both give the wearer shape and also allow the skirt to be very full once these pleats release. I love the pops of cherry red against the deep blue and white! A stunner and in excellent condition.
Unlined with an attached stiffened top hip detailing. Note that the hem of the skirt looks to have been cut at some point and is pressed to hem but the under-edge is raw. I am leaving it as is in case the buyer needs the full length it is now. The original belt is included and is in excellent condition. Closes with a back painted metal zipper.

This fantastic set is even better when you realize it was not truly a "matched set" but this is how my client paired it and I adored it so much I decided it should go to its new owner the same way! The stripes of the silk pleated skirt work in perfect contrast tot he floral top. The skirt is white label Prada and the top black label. Both are exquisitely finished inside and out as one would expect. The silk of the top has some stretch and it beautifully cut. Both pieces appear to have never been worn.
Both are unlined. The skirt closed with a hidden set zipper and the top buttons to close. Both are tagged a Prada 40

A fabulous little schoolgirl uniform feel set that has that quirky french whit that Chloe is so good at. It's fabulous day piece that you can mix and match with other pieces. The skirt has pleats that open all the way around the bottom. The top is just darling with an exaggerated collar and cuffs in a stark white that pops against the blue. I love the back detail with the buttons at the edge of the back hem! The fabric is a light weight crepe and the collar and cuffs a waffle weave cotton! Excellent condition.
The skirt closes with hook and eye at the waist and hidden snaps. The top slips on and buttons at the neck. There is one faint spot on the back of one cuff on the top otherwise no flaws. Both pieces are unlined.

Really one of the best Malcolm Starr dresses I have ever seen. It is an utter dream of a dress!Layers of pretty flowing goddess like chiffon float over each other to create that beautiful skirt. I love the pops of feminine pink with the custom screened print. The bodice is set high and halter cut leaving most of the back completely bare and a secy plunge in the front. The entire bodice front and back, has a heavy overlay of bead work that covers the floral pattern underneath. The effect of this is just brilliant and gives the dress and extra layer of richness and luxury. Drop dead gorgeous and a true stunner! Excellent, seemingly unworn condition!

Huk-A-Poo was a company in the seventies that primarily produced these amazing polyester graphic shirts that all shared the same cut - skinny and lean with front buttons and pointed collars. They were a cultural phenomenon and even the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art has a selection of their shirts in its collection! Though I have seen the very occasional dress by this label that was obviously done at a later date, this is the very first time I have seen a classic 1977 or so shirt paired with not only a matching skirt but a tie belt as well! If you are a collector you probably just gasped! Its fabulous and in excellent condition.
Both pieces are unlined, The top buttons to close and the skirt has an elastic waist. Missing one button on one cuff.

Whenever you find a piece that is dated it instantly becomes extra special! This piece is clearly gated 1973 and it is fabulous to boot! It is constructed from a coated cotton that allows it to be light and easy to wear during the warmer months but retain its shape and feel more "coat like" then it would be otherwise, It is cut loose and easy with a tie belt to give it shape. The entire body is cut straight and the sleeves almost a dolman cut. Huge pockets sit on each front hip and each sleeves ends in a large turned up cuff. I love it! You could probably even wrap it and wear it as a dress! Excellent, seemingly unworn condition!

What an amazing find! A full three piece, numbered set form the late 1970s by Jean Louis Scherrer. Scherrer was known for his elegant and refined design work and this suit is a perfect example of that. It is classic but with just the right amount of little POW details that you want in a demi-couture piece. I love the little A-line cut skirt with its red leather trim. This trim is picked up again in the edging of the jacket and tie belt. The shirt underneath is a combination of the blue and the red so picks up the color of the suit perfectly. The inside of all pieces are finished impeccably - all in silk and all hand stitched. This is a suit that is the equivalent of couture today! Excellent, seemingly unworn condition.
The skirt and jacket are lined in silk and are hand set. The shirt is lined through the body in a silk chiffon. The skirt closes with a hand set fine painted metal zipper. Both the jacket and shirt button to close. Note that the shirt has French cuffs and there are no buttons for it - I would just steal a pair of cuff links from your favorite guy! The tie at the neck and the tie on the jacket are both separate pieces and are in excellent condition as well.

Early Fendi examples are so hard to find and definitely fall into the "rare" category! This is a late 1970s silk dress that has a full and easy shape which makes it so easy to wear. You could also style it with a belt but it really was meant to be worn loose and full. The sleeves come out from almost waist level and narrow to elastic ribbed cuffs. I love the front with its tie neck - the ties actually loop through so you can adjust the neck to very tight or very wide. The body is full and it has hidden side pockets along the side seams. A discreet double "F" logo is top stitched at the base of the front opening! I love the bright pop of color the little coral design adds! Excellent condition

An amazing 1970s Ungaro caftan that is the epitome of hippie chic. Looking like it could have been worn by Talitha Getty this is an amazing and easy to wear piece. Based on a classic caftan this pairs light cotton with a linen like finish with pink, red and black thread embroidered trim. It is amazing and in excellent condition!
Unlined and zips to close at the back with a painted metal zipper. The sides are closed so it can be worn on its own. The edges are machine embroidered thread.
The caftan is open on either side until it hots 15" down from the shoulder. At this point there are seams on each side and they are set 24" flat across from side to side from each other.

When I acquired this I though it was an over-sized day dress but when I went to put it onto the mannequin realized that is actually a half skirted, half shorted playsuit! There are actually legs built into it making it the perfect thing for the summer months! Made of a lightweight but chunky knot wool nylon mix this is an early, incredible Missoni piece! I love the easy, slouchy over-0sized feel of it! Everything is made to slouch and be cozy. Huge pockets sit on each hip and wooden buttons close the front. The original belt is made of braided cord in a multitude of colors and has a huge wooden button as its buckle! Amazing and in excellent condition!
Unlined and closes with the front buttons. The inner legs are half shorts (at the front) and half skirt (the back). Wood buttons and wood buckle on the slip belt.

Love this dramatic yet simple Bill Blass silk gown! With a strong nod to the shapes of the thirties with its halter neck and bias cut draped skirt that flows to the ground. The arms are cut deep and low and the front neckline has a cowl detailing with a swatch of bright pink silk set just inside the cowl so you get a flash of pink and it also serves to keep you covered as the dotted portion plunges quite low!. The waist has pleating gathered in at the center waist which gives it a Grecian goddess effect. The silk is very light and fine - scarf weight. A beauty! Excellent condition!
Unlined and closes with a low back, painted metal zipper. Above the waist to the neck it has fabric covered buttons and loops. Hand rolled and finished edges. Note the gown is cut on the bias so the measurements are a reflection of that - it will drape into place. The waist is the most important to check!

Early Chloe pieces are hard to find and this is an amazing and versatile day set! The inner pieces are made of a fine scarf weight silk and have a fabulous bright, multi-color dot print. Together they look like a chic little day dress. I love the pleats on the skirt - it gives it a nice swing feel. The top is cut neat and simple. Note that some pictures show the top with and without a collar - that is because it is actually snaps on and off - all hidden along the inner edge! The jacket is cut simple and rounded with a nod to the twenties in styling. All the inner edges are finished with the same silk dotted fabric! Excellent condition!
All three pieces are unlined. The jacket has no front closures and buttons at each cuff. The top closes with buttons at the front and the skirt closes with a combo of snaps and hook & eye. The white collar on the shirt is removable and snaps into place

The top of this amazing 100% linen set is clearly marked on the tag with the date 11/26/73 giving us an exact date of production! It also appears to have not been worn and is excellent condition so it is like buying a piece for a time capsule! The perfect, chic, refined summer set it has lots of demi-couture finishes. The fabric is a slightly starched linen so looks and feels rich and finely made. I love the over-sized short and the double layer at the skirt hem. It is so much better on a real girl then how it photos and having the two separate pieces makes it endlessly versatile! Wonderful!

If you need a bold, statement making, sort of crazy dress - you just found it! This is a fabulous Lanvin shirt dress from the seventies that is in its original full maxi length. It is made of a polyester jersey that takes and holds vibrant color fabulously and travels and wears perfectly - it is virtually wrinkle free!

A Rare late 1950s, early 1960s, Patrick de Barentzen dress this is an absolute stunner! De Barentzen was an Italian couturier who, in the 50s was an equal to Valentino and Irene Galtzine. Houses like these ruled the Italian couture and demi-couture scene and catered to nobles and the rich. This is an exquisite example of his work and is constructed to couture standards with hand finishes and couture detailing. The exterior is a loose weave chenille yarn and cord. Under this peeks through a cream, heavy grade and high quality silk satin. The neck and cuffs are left with just the cream silk so an almost tuxedo like quality is created. I love the silk satin bow that finished the piece. Pieces like this are why women get addicted to vintage. It is of the highest quality and a joy to see! Excellent condition!
The inner silk satin dress serves as the lining. Exquisite inner finish with hand work. Closes with a double hand set back metal zipper (one on each layer) and buttons with proper finished button holes at the cuffs. There is a faded discoloration on the front bib but thankfully it sits just under the edge of where the black begins. I mention it for accuracy only as it does not distract or show when on.

Absolutely fabulous two piece set by Chloe in a bright bold blue and white combination! made of fine, high quality silk the pieces mix and match stripes and pattern masterfully! The top is skinny cut and I love the three buttons cuffs and pointed collar. The skirt flows to the floor and is fitted at the waist and hip and then the pleats open for volume. Both are light weight and finely constructed! Excellent condition!
Both pieces are unlined. The top closes with buttons at the front and three on each cuff. The skirt closes with a series of hook & eye and snaps.

An amazing Mr. Blackwell that is just outstanding! The sleeves are of course what makes it just a jewel of a dress! they are each insanely wide, extravagant, dramatic things that are cut like giant cones with the back draping far lower then the front! These are balanced by a simple cut through the body of the dress. A high scooped neck and a straight cut body that skims over the bust and hips. The tie belt is wide and can be used to cinch in the waist or you can use it at the neck if you wish. The exterior fabric is a gold metallic thread that gives it a knit feel but the silk lining underneath keeps it from stretching. I adore the vibrant pops of green against the gold! Wonderful and in excellent, appears unworn condition!
Fully lined in a high quality black silk, including the sleeves and closes with a back painted metal zipper. Hand finished. The tie belt is original and the same fabric on both sides.

The label on this piece dates it to the early 1970s and it is a fabulous example of that whole easy, sexy dance feel movement that was happening. Made of a stretch jersey in an ink black with a tremendously full and swingy skirt. The rest if the dress stretches to fit and follow your every curve. The skirt seems to lie and be fairly straight but it is really quite full so if you do a twirl aka Studio 54 style you will be quite exposed! Exactly the intent I am sure! Love the fitted cut and the dancer like feel to this! Its a great example of his early work and looks to have never been worn.
Unlined and slips on with a hook & eye at the back of the neck.

This wonderful Malcolm Starr reminds me of snowflakes and is just a little jewel! White silk net is backed in silk. That net is then hand covered with patterns made of cut out metal flakes topped with a cut silver diamond shaped piece of flat aluminum and then topped with a teeny row of clear beads. The white on white mixed with silver is just stunning! Love the simple shift shape and the way it glimmers in the light. It is surprisingly light weight and looks wonderful on. It has some small, liveable and fixable (if you decide to fix) issues that are described below. Present well as is and is a really unusual and pretty piece!
Fully lined in a white silk crepe and nude organza through the upper shoulders. Closes with a back painted metal zipper. The exterior layer is a silk net. Note that there are missing appliques and beads - mostly across the shoulders - you could steal from the body of the dress here and there and fill. The areas are not crazy bare but there. It is wearable as is. I am selling it at a price that takes the potential work to move some of the appliques into account. This item is a final sale as excess hipping would be to hard on it. Its a stunner and a definite steal at this price - if perfect it would be twice this or more

This 1970s striped, light weight knit maxi dress from Lanvin is fabulous! The colors are bright but without being too much and I love how it goes from a classic , almost nautical feel with the cream and navy at the bodice to a riot of colors and texture at the hem. Huge rick rack appliques are set around the hem and these just highlight the already fabulous striped design, The bodice is fitted and scooped at the front and back. Just under the defined waist it is paneled in vertical strips of fabric that release into curved pleats over the hips and then give fullness to the skirt. It has its original belt and is just amazing! Excellent condition!
The bodice is lined in a hand set, nude tissue silk and the skirt is unlined. It closes with a back, painted metal zipper. It has its original tie belt that is composed of two knit belts, each who have metal tips. There is one small dot of a mark on the front near the seam of on of the panel right about where they release into the skirt. Very minor and may come out with another dry clean. I am being pretty picky.

This killer 4 piece set that is comprised of a silk dress, vest, belt and scarf is a beauty! Rocco Barocco is a famous Italian designer that is still designing today under the Rocco Barocco label. That is his second line however, with his first foray into fashion executed under the more simple Barocco label of which this dress is from. This label only existed from 1968 to 1974 and pieces were extremely high end and well made, demi-couture RTW really! The entire dress is hand finished and immaculately made. The silk used is a silk twill and on par with Hermes silk. The vest is a silk finished to have the look of a polished linen - just stunning! I love the bright color and the bold B logo that covers the fabric. The sleeves are full and cuff at the wrist and the dress skims over the body and then has a kicky flare to it through the skirt. You can layer the vest over it or wear it separate. Really a high quality outfit and so versatile! Excellent condition!
The dress is lined in a turquoise tissue silk with the sleeves left unlined. The lining and finishes are hand set. It closes with a back, hand set, painted metal zipper.The buttons holes on each cuff are properly done and the buttons fabric covered. The vest is finished in the same blue fabric as the front detailing and is so well done that f not for the label and buttons you could flip it inside out! Comes with the original slip belt that is in great condition and a matching neck or head scarf.

What an amazing piece! Its early Missoni and made of the most fluid, sensual feeling silk jersey that is just does incredible things when it hits the body and drapes into place! Despite that fact that it is cut very generously it falls into place to instantly mold tot he size of the wearer. The fabric is screened with a customs design that is brilliant! I love that you can wear it loose and full, or cinch the waist or use the matching sash as a head piece!. Utterly amazing and highly coveted! Excellent, appears unworn condition.

Sexy, fluid silk jersey dyed to a shocking, vivid pink are the foundation of this amazing jumpsuit by Valentino. The fabric is slinky and sensual and the cut divine. Wide fluid legs add supermodel height. The halter top twist and wraps around the bodice leaving open areas. The halter goes up and around the neck and it zips very low on the back. One piece wraps and secures across the back other wise your back is left completely bare! Hot! Excellent condition!
Double layer of the silk jersey through the bodice and the pants are unlined. closes with a back zipper and another smaller zipper on the back piece. Slight scuffing to the fabric here and there but it presents perfectly and I am being pretty picky. This is a natural patina to this type of fabric and should not be considered a flaw.

Sexy eighties Krizia label dress has a fantastic slit and cut out back! It has an almost slashed feel to it and the bare expanse of skin is balances by the long and lean skirt.

Such a beauty! This is Valentino at his lady-like, refined best! It is so sexy but yet so classic. It oozes jet set chic! The front has a sexy plunged cowl feel neckline and then waist nips in. The back plunges in a deep and dramatic V. The skirt is a work of art! It is fitted and then heavily beaded all the ay around. I love how as the beads near the edge of the hem the ring little open cut outs so you will get just a hint of skin through them. Devastatingly gorgeous! Excellent, appears unworn condition!
Fully lined in a very high grade black silk and closes with a hidden set side zipper. Beautifully finished inside and all beads appear to be present.

Very pretty and girlie chiffon dress by Pierre Cardin along the lines of the more feminine pieces he was doing for stars like Mia Farrow. While the fabric is soft and pretty , the cut is pretty sexy - wit a back that dips very low and a cinched in waist. I love the halter cut and the ruffles that ring the neck and the bottom hem. Very pretty! This one does have some condition issues so please read the detail below carefully prior to purchase.
Fully lines in organza and closes with a back nylon zipper. It presents well but please note that the ruffle around the neck and skirt has many vertical splits that are hidden in the pleats in varying degrees with the worst being behind the neck. You could still wear as is as the pleat work does hide it quite effectively but it is sold as is so please purchase accordingly. If perfect it would be priced at $1200 - the price it is listed at with another dealer - so it has been substantially reduced taking this onto account. No flaws otherwise.

Easy to wear and easy to care for cotton day dress by the iconic house of Celine! The cotton is soft like a T-shirt and it just slips on. The color is a muted orange red and I absolutely love the print on this one - the entire dress is covered in turn of the century bicycles and wheels done in a combination of blue and yellow! Adorable! You can belt for more shape or just wear loose and easy. Super cute!
Unlined and slips on. Elastic at the waist and buttons at the neck. There is one round spot on the front bodice that is faint but there - please see photo.

Superb white linen like fabric is cut and shaped into one of the most classic Cardin designs! The bodice is cut simply with no sleeves and a rounded neck accented by the panel of blue. The waist curves in just a touch and then the skirt skims over the hip to fall to the floor in a sculptural masterpiece! The hem is cut in rounded flaps - two in the front and two in the back that give the dress tremendous movement and visual interest. Each flap is edged in that same band of blue fabric. Instantly recognizable as a Cardin! I love the crispness of the white against the blue too! Excellent condition!
Fully lined in a white silky rayon and closes with a back zipper. Note that the zipper pull is broken and just a stub of it remains - because the zipper is original to the dress I have chosen to leave it as found.

Superb little bright, graphic Mr Dino dress in an easy to wear, easy to care and travel with poly jersey. This fabric takes color so well and it really allows for the rich tones. Love the bold print and the short A-line cut. Each sleeve is cut a touch wide as it nears the cuff. Killer and in excellent condition!

Dramatic, statement making poly jersey dress by Feraud. I love the bold floral graphic that sites on both sides of the skirt and adorns the upper shoulder. Striping details are worked into the fabric on the waist, hem and each cuff. The blue on black is fabulous and the fabric is easy to wear, care for and to travel with! Early Feraud pieces are hard to find and this one is just great! Excellent condition!

Gina Fratini famously was the label of choice for Elizabeth Taylor's second marriage to Richard Burton in 1975 in Bostwana, Africa. Fratini was a London-based fashion and costume designer whose label existed from 1964 into the eighties. She was also known for dressing Princess Diane and Princess Anne, who wore a Fratini gown for her 21st birthday portrait. She also worked for Normal Norell and designed the Ossie Clark lingerie line. Her closeness to Ossie is apparent in this dress as it has a decidedly Ossie feel to it! Made of a light cotton voile with a dot and leaf print it is a cascade of ruffles! The sleeves are phenomenal - they are widen as they near their ends into a full huge circle and have two full tiers of ruffles. The hem also ends this way with ruffled tiers. I love the little row of fabric covered buttons and the waist ties at the back with an attached tie so you can cinch it in more if needed. Very pretty and airy feeling. Excellent condition

A simple and chic Donald Brooks dress that has subtle but interesting details. The fabric is a black poly crepe so is very easy to wear, care for and travel with. It has a slight textured feel to it with gives it a nice visual interest to break the starkness of the black. The bodice is cut with no shoulder seams and the sleeves come out form the waist giving it a rounded, almost sculptural feel. I love the top stitched, slightly puffed effect banding at the waist - it really defines and nips in and gives the perfect balance to the top and skirt of the dress. The skirt is log and slightly full with chic little hidden pockets at each hip! Excellent condition!
Unlined and closes with a low back, painted metal zipper and fabric covered buttons above that.
Note that it does close all the way up - it was just too small on the mannequin!

I have had a shorter version of this dress in the past but this one is the full super model length maxi! Made of a smooth finished nylon jersey it is a good wearable light weight. It has that classic sixties pattern and color with an almost chaotic feel that Varon manages to make work. The colors have held up perfectly and they have stood the test of time, staying true and crisp. The print and color are set in long, lean rows of print on the bodice and then a chevron design on the skirt. The dress has a square collar and sleek bodice. The sleeves are cut long and lean with a killer bell finish to each cuff. The skirt cascade to the floor with a ruffle set at knee height and a band of black to anchor the piece. The nylon jersey is easy to wear and it will travels fabulously. Excellent condition

Lovely Bill Blass, late seventies full length dress that is in a brilliant red with lots of vivid flowers splashed over it. This pretty base is then covered entirely in clear sequins so that the pattern underneath is not hidden but given an extra layer of wow factor! The entire gown gleams and glistens in the light and the effect is quite startling and beautiful. Love the long, lean silhouette and the way the hem is cut with a slight flare. Immaculately constructed and shockingly light and easy to wear! Excellent condition

This Bill Blass is an earlier version of the other one listing this week. This was a classic silhouette that he used through the years, with tweaks to the colors and design! This one has a little softer shoulders and the skirt is a more classic column and the overall cut softer and more loose. It is covered entirely in pink and purpler sequins so that the entire gown gleams and glistens in the light and the effect is quite startling and beautiful. Depending on how you look at it the color seems to ripple across the surface and you are never quite sure if it is pink or purple! Immaculately constructed and shockingly light and easy to wear!
