RARE Bill Tice 1970s Designer Vintage Empire Gown L/XL - Collector's Item

This unique & lovely Vintage collector's item was one of world renowned Designer Bill Tice's most exquisite pieces. The rich maroon lightweight & silky jersey knit fabric is non wrinkling, soft & non see through. The bust gathers around Bill's signature, to-die-for metallic gold inset. The back is lightly smocked for a perfect, comfortable fit. His vision of combining comfort and function with elegance is beautifully displayed in this gown, featuring a perfect sized slit in the skirt for optimal movement & pockets that are sewn in so perfectly, only you can tell that they are there! Flowy, flattering & so much fun to wear - the comfort of a night gown meets the beauty of an evening gown, in classic Bill Tice fashion. Great vintage condition - straps will likely need reinforced with a simple stitch, aside from that it is flawless. Laying flat, measures: 17" pit to pit un-stretched, 21" pit to pit stretched 51" total length
