About MeBill Gibb (1943-1988) was a Scottish fashion designer who became renowned in the 1960s and 70s for his designs. This fashion sketch shows a design for his 1980 Autumn/Winter Collection for Papillion. The sleeves are very deep batwing sleeves and the gathers where they join the body are caught up by a button at the waist. The whole surface is spotted with small frill at the seams, and the scalloped hem is decorated with a deep floral border.
Late 19th Century
