Extraordinary Bob Mackie corset ball gown, represented by its original owner as a custom creation and believed—based on available information and continuing archival research—to be unique. The sculpted black-and-gold sweetheart bodice features intricate metallic embroidery, illusion latticework, hand-applied crystals and dramatic beaded fringe at the dropped waist. A lace-up corset back completes the architectural silhouette. The full layered-tulle skirt reveals vertical panels of green, gold, plum, blue and bronze beneath black netting, with scattered reflective embellishments that create remarkable color, movement and light. AUTHENTICITY & SIZE Authentic Bob Mackie label Marked size 10 Dry Clean Only Please rely on actual measurements rather than marked size. Complete measurements available. PROVENANCE Accompanied by period photographs showing the original owner wearing this exact gown at a professionally photographed, fairytale-themed hospital benefit during the 1990s. She is pictured beside a prominent guest believed to be Dionne Warwick. Research has identified the November 1996 “Wish Upon a Song” benefit for Miller Children’s Hospital—featuring Warwick and Burt Bacharach—as a compelling possible match. The event, date and guest identification remain under archival review and are not represented as independently authenticated. This is a celebrity-owned or celebrity-worn gown, but listed without disclosure.
