1970s Rare Biba Gold Sequin Maxi Dress

This dress is both iconic and fantastic! It is rare that you see a full sequined early Biba. I have seen lots of tops and vests (there are a few listed in the shop now even) but to find a full maxi dress is just wonderful! The dress is amazing too - it is classic Biba with its small, triangle halter style cups from which the skirt flows to the floor in a wide A-line. All the sequin work is set vertically so you get a subtle line that travels up making the wearer seem even longer and leaner. The sequins themselves are a burnished deep gold and they catch the light wonderfully. It is very simple but very wonderful and undeniably special. Really good Biba pieces are getting harder and harder to find and this one is amazing - it really is one of the best of the best by Biba from this era! Excellent condition!

The upper bodice is backed in black satin, the rest of the dress is unlined. It closed at the back with a zipper. The fabric has some stretch. Each side of the bodice seems to be cut straight up and down - they tend to stick out a touch as a result. It is not a flaw but I am pointing it out as I think you might want to tweak it to a perfect fit once it is tried.
