Made in USA Approximately Size Small / Medium (tons of stretch) Model in video is US Size 6, and 5’8 feet tall Measurements: 32-38 inch bust 28-30 inch waist Up to 44 inch hips 58 inches from top back shoulder seam to hem A striking vintage Bob Mackie nightgown created for Saks Fifth Avenue during the late 1980s, beautifully capturing the era’s fascination with lingerie-inspired glamour and elegant bias silhouettes. This dramatic design features a fluid black satin skirt cut on the bias, allowing the fabric to drape and move effortlessly along the body. The bodice is crafted from sheer illusion mesh adorned with an abstract dotted pattern, creating a visually captivating contrast against the satin while highlighting Mackie’s signature theatrical aesthetic. The sculpted bustline and fitted long sleeves create a striking silhouette, while the deep scoop back adds a sensual, elegant finish. Although originally designed as luxury boudoir or hostess wear, the silhouette reads unmistakably like a formal evening gown and can easily be styled for black-tie events. This versatility is exactly why late 1980s Mackie pieces remain highly sought after today. With the right accessories—statement earrings, heels, or a vintage fur—this piece transitions seamlessly from boudoir elegance to modern eveningwear. The abstract illusion mesh pattern, combined with the fluid bias satin skirt, reflects the period’s shift toward sleek, body-skimming silhouettes that defined late 1980s and early 1990s glamour. A rare and captivating example of Bob Mackie’s ability to merge sensuality, drama, and timeless sophistication. ⸻ Vintage Bob Mackie nightgown, Bob Mackie Saks Fifth Avenue gown, vintage Bob Mackie dress...
