This is a spectacular and exceptionally special Bob Mackie evening gown dating to the 1980s. It features an extraordinary black and gold beaded design with sweeping tiger stripe inspired motifs that shimmer beautifully. The figure-skimming column silhouette is accented by a sheer illusion yoke, mock neckline, and fitted long sleeves. It is fully lined, zips up the back, and features a built in waist ribbon. This gown creates drama and glamour unlike any other. Intricately hand-embellished with sequins and bugle beads over black mesh, it showcases the signature, iconic style that made Bob Mackie one of Hollywood's most celebrated designers. It is a breathtaking statement piece for collectors, red carpet events, or display. Although labeled a size 8, I personally feel it fits more like a modern US size 4-6. (Please refer to measurements) A similar Bob Mackie gown in a different colorway, formerly owned by Whitney Houston, came to market many years ago and sold for $7,500. This dress is in very good vintage condition, with light wear to some of the beadwork and a few loose threads.
