Vintage 1970's Jill Richards Gold Lame Silk Chiffon Dress Long Sleeves Disco

Vintage Rare Disco 1970's Jill Richards Gold Lame Silk Chiffon Dress Long Sleeves and Flowing Skirt (Originally purchased from It's A Wrap in Hollywood in 2009) When researching the dress I found a doppelgänger dress sold by an expensive couture company going for a little over $1000, so this is not just fashionable but cheap compared to the other options out there. Jill Richards was an American designer from California, active from 1970 to the 1990s. Known for very feminine clothing in luxury fabrics. She counted among her clientele Hollywood stars. She understood lighting and had a flair for drama. The L.A. Times noted in her obituary that “[s]he was one of small group of Los Angeles designers who helped expand the California market beyond swimsuits and shorts. She made evening gowns and special-occasion clothes in such luxury fabrics as silk, velvet and lace.” Features: • Faux Wrap V-Neck • Long Translucent Sleeves • Snap Cuffs • Back Zipper • Soft Chiffon Double Skirt Lining • Total of Three Layers on the Skirt • Chevron Stripes • Vintage Size 8 • Lot number indicates pre-1979 • Dry Clean Only indicates post 1960 Size: Womens S Measured Flat Shoulder to shoulder 18 in Bust 34.5 in Waist 26 in Hips 40 in Sleeve Length 27 in Armpit hole 8 in Wrist Width 3.25 in Length 40 in Shoulder to Waist 14.75 in Sleeve Width 12.75 in Condition: Pre-Owned Good Photographed outdoors in indirect lighting, one small hole as photographed.
