Bill Gibb Pink Satin Jacket

Photobucket

How beautiful is this? This 1970s Bill Gibb silk satin jacket was up for sale on eBay last week through KittyCatSilver and it immediately had me swooning. Though there were a couple stains, overall it was in pretty immaculate collection. Incredibly well-designed, the perfect pin-tucks allow it to hug the body in a very flattering way. Every single detail of this jacket is so thought out- clothes do not get much better than this. I really considered bidding on it, but it was far too big for me and I'm not the type to tailor designer vintage to fit me. I hope whoever won it loves it as much as I do and takes good care of it- donating it to a museum would probably be the best thing for it.

  2. Wish it had been my size. I would gladly swap my big black dress for something like that!
