About MeIvory and black dinner gowns made in one of Bill's favourite fabrics, Qiana jersey. He once said that if he had to choose one fabric it would be Qiana jersey, "which is fine and fluid, like milk pouring out of a jug".

The ivory dress has gathered three-quarter length sleeves and laced deep back neckline. Hand-beaded shoulders and yoke in bee's wing pattern by Lesley Hogger of Spangles.

The black dress also features a beaded yoke by Lesley Hogger and is trimmed with crystal beaded braid. This dress was worn by Bill's business partner, Kate Franklin.
