This is one of my favorite Bill Tice pieces and it is super special. I love all of the pieces by Bill Tice that I bring into the shop. His easy-to-wear and glamorous pieces have been worn by countless celebrities for the red carpet and events. Every girl that has bought one of his pieces through me has absolutely loved them and this jumpsuit is exceptional. 

This is one of those great little pieces that you will only ever find with vintage. It is made out of a light weight gold metallic fabric that is that perfect shade of gold. Not too bright, but bright enough that it feels special. The fabric choice makes it extremely comfortable to wear and it drapes and falls incredibly on the body. It is all one easy piece and you just step into it to wear. The front is a single piece of fabric that is piped around the edges. Those extend out to ties that you tie behind the neck to hold the halter in place. This leaves the entire back and sides bare. The waist is detailed with a wide gold fabric band that has his signature top stitching and a bit of padding inside the layers to give it some support and detail. The front of the waist has a elastic in it so once you step into it, you just cinch the belt in front to bring it in as much as your waist needs it. From there it skims over the hips to pant legs that are cut wide and full through the legs. The pants are extraordinary. As they reach the bottom hem they are cinched back in and gathered with elastic at their hems. This creates a balloon / harem effect that is just fantastic. It is extraordinarily well done and very sexy yet so easy and comfortable to wear. Excellent condition. 

Unlined with a elastic through the front waist and then you use the tie to cinch it in. It ties at the neck and gathered in at the cuffs with elastic. I see one tiny area on the lake near the hip, where the fabric has been a little bit and there's a pinhole spot of the same on the other leg. Please see the photo after the label shot.
