Exceptional Spring 1995 Bill Blass Runway & Book Piece Floral Silk Taffeta & Gingham Dress designer-emanuel-ungaro The bodice is lightly bonedThis dress is absolutely gorgeous and it is very well documented. It was sent to me by someone that worked for Bill Blass. The dress was purchased from the company archives when the original label shuttered in 2012. Which means that this could very well be the same dress that actually walked the runway since it was from the Blass archives. It still has it's original tags from that sale and I have left them in place since they add historical accuracy
