Bob Mackie beaded evening gown, c.1980
This knockout gown by Bob Mackie, the master of glitz and glamour, has his signature sex appeal and drop-dead style. He has described his costume-inspired evening creations as "clothes for parties, balls... as long as you don't mind people staring." His fabulous creations shimmy and sizzle!
The strapless gown is elaborately decorated with red sequins and glass beads on fine black silk net. The gown closes in back with a nylon coil zipper. The skirt has a deep front slit and is slightly longer in back.
This bombshell of a gown is totally lined with black silk crepe and has a built-in boned bra. The engineered inner structure means you will not have to worry about what used to be called "foundation garments." As you make your grand entrance or exit, all eyes will be on you. That's a Bob Mackie guarantee!
Mackie started as a member of Edith Head's design team at Paramount Pictures. He then struck out on his own, winning the first of many Emmys for his TV work. His famous clients include Diana Ross, Carol Burnett, Carole Channing, and Cher.
Mackie has earned his reputation as designer for the stars! This eye-catching evening gown is Mackie at top of his game. It has all the dramatic flair of the fantastic costumes he designed for Cher.
The condition is excellent. The gown still has its original price tag from Jacobsons and has never been worn.
The size is marked 6. It measures: 36" bust, 28" waist, 38" hip, and 48" center-front length.
