A stunning Bill Blass gown that has a unique and beautiful design! That flowing bohemian feel skirt is created by huge "scarf" like panels of fabric that are inserted at the waist and circle the entire skirt. There is an inner skirt that is more fitted adn these scarf panels float over the skirt. They are incredibly fine and light so move with the wearers slightest movement! Really incredible. This airy feeling is continued in the sleeves that are left unlined and cut wide with a slight slanted edge. The front plunges tot he high waist and an attached panel of fabric hooks in the back to define the waist. The fabric is a high grade silk chiffon with gold thread woven through it. It is very beautiful and the design is both innovative and rare. Excellent condition.

Fully lined in a nude tissue silk through the bodice and the inner skirt of the same fabric acts as a lining for the overlay of "scarf" panels that are attached at the hip all around the dress. The sleeves are unlined. Closes with a back painted metal zipper
