Bill Blass chiffon evening dress, 1970s
Bill Blass, the great American fashion personality, understood how to produce evening wear that was both glamorous and tasteful. His elegantly simple style has been called "polished classic."
This sexy dress is Blass at his best! It is perfectly sculpted in hot cherry red. The dress is fashioned from multiple layers of silk chiffon that softly mold to the shape of your body. I love the one-shoulder asymmetrical style. Bias-cut Flamenco style ruffles border the neckline and skirt hem.
Certainly expensive when new, the dress is beautifully constructed and hand finished. You don't have to worry about what to wear under it because of the built-in bra of matching silk crepe. The dress closes in back with two zippers; one is a standard nylon coil zipper on the bra and the other is an invisible zipper on the chiffon.
For today's anatomy lesson, consider the limbic system, the most "primitive" part of the male brain in two senses. First, it was all of the "brain" 300 million years ago when man's distant evolutionary ancestors were still amphibians. Second, the limbic system controls "fight or flight" instincts as well as sexual arousal. This hot cherry red beauty will do the trick, so you have been forewarned!
The condition is excellent.
It measures: 38" bust, 31" waist, 40" hip, and 44" center-front length.
