ARCHIVE - 1970s Bill Gibb White Evening Dress with Beaded Moth Motive

£0.00 Sold out
This enchanting vintage 1970s Bill Gibb silk jersey evening dress in soft white is in beautiful vintage condition and as the designer notoriously only made limited numbers of the same design, this is without doubt a rare piece (the original owner believed that this was one of only two that were made). This lovely dress features delicate spaghetti straps that graduate from the centre bust at a diagonal, accentuating the shoulders to flattering effect and an exquisite Art Deco style moth design in tiny jade green and silver toned rocaille beads and pink embroidered trim. There is an empire waistline and a flowing ankle length skirt witch gathers loosely under the waistline in soft pleats with a concealed zip fastening at the centre reverse. This unique and feminine piece would make a stunning choice for alternative bridal wear and the ornate line of the bodice means there is little need to accessorise. Would best suit a US size 0-2, UK size 4-6.

F.A.Q.

Will you set anything aside for me before I come?

We are happy to find anything you may be interested in from our website - please let us know a week in advance. 

We also have an extensive offline collection. If you let us know your size, style, favourite colour to wear and perhaps your budget, we can browse through our archive in advance of your appointment. 
Do I need to bring anything with me?

Clients may wish to bring modern shapewear when trying on garments from certain eras, especially the 1950s. Vintage clothing was often worn with undergarments that shaped the waist and as such is tailored for them.


We have a huge variety of slip dresses and petticoats to complete your look; many of which are also for sale.


You may also wish to bring your favourite footwear. We often find a classic pair of nude shoes work well when trying on, or a pair in gold or silver.
Do you have a price range?

Many of our lower-priced pieces (under £150) are not available to buy online. Our prices range from £80 - £600 for separates. Dresses start at around £150 and go up to £2,500 for the very best antique pieces and designer vintage. Our bridalwear ranges from £300 - £3,000.
Can I bring anyone with me?

Yes but please do let us know the size of your party in advance.
Where can I get alterations?

Do you have an after-care service?

We will advise you on the best way to clean and preserve your vintage pieces and can also recommend trusted local dry cleaners.
Can I cancel my appointment?

You are free to cancel but please do give us as much notice as possible. If you cancel less than 24 hours before your appointment, you will be invoiced a late cancellation fee of £25.
