1960s Silk Print Bill Blass Maxi Dress designer-bob-mackie The exterior is a mix

The exterior is a mix of 90% cashmere and 10% angora

The bodice has a square cut neckline and this cleverly allows that trail of bead work that goes from hem to shoulder and around to stay the same width and fullness the entire span of its application

It is cut shift like with a slight bit of shape to the waist

glittering skin (it has more of an electric blue undertone that does not come across in the pics - really amazing

1960s Silk Print Bill Blass Maxi Dress designer-bob-mackie The exterior is a mixThis is one of my most favorite pieces It is very rare and very amazing! The silk is hand screened with an almost brutalist design in white over the purple base. (note the color is a true even purple it looks varied in the photos but that is the challenge of photographing purple). The cut is fairly simple it completely covers the body the a high neck, Long sleeves and a to the floor skirt. The real genu=ius of this piece lies in that stunning print
