Approximately Size US 6 / 8 ( Model in video is US Size 6, and 5’8 feet tall ) Measurements: Up to 48 inch bust ( dolman sleeves ) 27 inch waist 38 inch hips 57 inches from top back shoulder seam to hem A breathtaking and rare Bill Blass Fall/Winter 1983 evening gown in dramatic black and silver metallic velvet, capturing the high-glamour sophistication of early-1980s American couture. The fabric has a reptile-inspired, almost crocodile-effect texture that shimmers in motion, shifting from deep inky black to liquid silver under the light—utterly camera-ready and red-carpet worthy. The gown showcases Blass’s signature blouson bodice, softly draped through the shoulders and sleeves for easy, fluid movement. A defined elasticized waist creates shape while remaining comfortable and forgiving, then falls into a long, straight column skirt that elongates the figure. The sleeves are gently gathered at the wrists with hidden zippers, echoing the soft volume of the bodice. Down the back, a row of covered buttons adds a refined finishing touch and reinforces the couture feel of the piece. From every angle, the metallic velvet catches the light, making this gown a standout choice for formal events, galas, and editorial moments. Perfect for collectors and clients who love a dramatic, era-correct 1980s silhouette with a modern, minimalist edge. ⸻ Styling Notes This F/W 1983 metallic velvet gown is incredibly versatile for evening: • Pair with strappy black or silver heels and a sleek clutch for classic black-tie styling. • Add sculptural silver or hematite jewelry to echo the metallic shimmer. • Layer with a black velvet or satin opera coat or a vintage fur stole...
