Rare Bill Gibb Devore Silk Velvet Evening Ensemble
About the Item
Incredible early 70s "dévoré" silk velvet and gold lame set composed of a short kimono-caftan and a long buttoned maxi skirt. The top is cut wide with sleeves opening down the waist. Whereas the skirt is fully lined in black silk, the top is unlined. Worn as an ensemble or separately, it is giving the impression of an enchanted stained glass wearable mosaic. Scattered iridescent strass braids enhance this glittering fairy effect.
