that only bore his name

The quality was very good and they were known for their beaded and sequin dresses

It covers the straps that curve up and sound each shoulder and then wraps around the top of the bodice

Museum Held 1974 Bill Blass One Shoulder Glossy Black Sequin Dress w Asymetrical Fringe Hem Unlabeled and Fabulous patent look finishThis is the second time I've had this dress in the shop and the first time ended up going to a museum. I've actually included that reference photo here for you love it in The Met's collection. This original dress that I had came with an old hang tag that was dated as being from the 1974 season and that makes sense given his heavy use of sequins for that years collections. It is a stunning piece and a wonderful example of his work during this time
