This is a spectacular and exceptionally special Bob Mackie evening gown dating to the 1980s–90s. 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. 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.
