1964 JAMES GALANOS black silk plisse COUTURE gown with cut out sides
About the Item
Stunning, jet-black, silk plisse, maxi gown with cut out sides designed by James Galanos dating to 1964. Exact dress is held in the MET museum archives. This dress has a very strong silhouette. The attached bra top is cleverly constructed using the plisse fabric to create a very flattering angled fit while the skirt falls into a loose column which skims the body. Dress is very reminiscent to the style of a Madame Grès gown. Hand finished throughout. All of the details you would expect with a Haute Couture gown.
Dress would best fit a US 2-4. Approximate measurements: bust 33", high waist 25-26" and length 62". The back horizontal strap to the bra portion can easily be altered smaller by moving the hook/eyes.
Fully lined in satin silk. Center back zipper at waist and hook/eye at back of bodice. Hand work throughout.
Very good condition.
