Bob Mackie beaded evening gown, 1990s
"A woman who wears my clothes is not afraid to be noticed" Bob Mackie
The elegant gown from Mackie's couture line has a ladylike elegance as well as his signature sex appeal, showing the dramatic flair of the costumes he designed for Cher.
The chevron beading not only adds Mackie sparkle but also accents the contour shaping of the seams. This has the effect of a bias cut, molding the gown to your figure.
I love designs with back interest. The plunging V-back and chevron beading draw the eye down to the back skirt train. Your leaving the room will be as memorable as your entrance.
The deep navy satin-back crepe hue could easily be mistaken for black. The Deco-style beaded stripes combine silver, metallic lined crystal, and charcoal gray beads. The straps crisscross in back and attach to each side of the halter bodice with hooks. The gown closes in back with a hand sewn zipper.
Mackie has created ultra glam gowns since the 1960s, starting as a member of the famed Edith Head design team. He then struck out on his own, winning the first of many Emmys for his TV work. His more famous clients include Diana Ross, Carol Burnett, Carol Channing and Cher.
The condition is excellent. It is clean and ready to wear.
It measures: approximately 36" bust (varies due to the open halter style), 30" waist, 42" hip, and 56" center-front length.
