Galanos Silk Chiffon Evening Dress
USA

James Galanos is the designer of this beautiful evening gown from the wardrobe of a former American Beauty Queen.

Printed and woven red chiffon is hand tucked for the bodice and sleeves of this flowing chiffon dress. Dashes and dots in shades of red and white are sprinkled on the fabric, like confetti on New Years' Eve. The bodice is embellished with an abstract pattern of brilliant silver sequins, and deep bands of sequins encircle the cuffs as well.

There is a narrow silk skirt in the same cheerful fabric, meant to be worn under the sheer gown. This skirt has an elastic waistband and a left side zipper, along with a 21" deep slit on one side for ease of movement. The skirt is fully lined in red silk. Completing the ensemble is a woven belt of red silk chiffon which can be worn with the dress or pair it with the skirt and a white blouse for a second outfit.

The quality of materials and handwork in this outfit is superb. All three pieces are in immaculate condition.
