It is really wonderfully constructed too

Item# S367

Strong and wearable with the care and love it deserves to be shown - this is one of the best 1920s pieces I have ever seen and I would not be surprised to learn that it was a couture piece form one of the Paris houses at the time - it is of that high quality and the fabric would have been customs designed and made

Fully lined and buttons down the front and then wraps with ties around the waist

Museum Held 1970s Bill Gibb Sequin Detail Jersey Dress designer-james-galanos It is really wonderfully constructedBill Gibb pieces are so rare and hard to find that when I do find one I am always very pleased. This particular dress is absolutely fabulous. It has the added bonus of having similar examples currently residing in museum archives. A red version is held at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and a second, similar version in cream was displayed in Bath for the "Great Names in Fashion" exhibit. The body of the dress is made of a fluid, black liquid jersey
