About the Item
1990s Galanos Couture dress which looks very inspired by the French couturier Madame Gres. The dress has an unusual combination of colours; for the bodice, a deep lime green satin and brown and eau de nil silk crepe for the skirt and deep inverted bodice. The satin work has very fine pintucks which fall in a diagonal direction on the dress. The reverse of the dress has a cut out back and fastens to the side with a modern concealed zip that is original to the dress. There is a series of hook and eyes that follow from the waistline, up to the underarm. There is also a hook and eye at the top of the dress, towards the back to keep the diamond element. The skirt is a gentle A-line floor length cut. The inside of the bodice is lined in silk charmeuse.
There is a great deal of hand finishing to the dress and Galanos was a master of couture sewing execution. He was one of the only American designers making clothes to a Haute Couture standard and had a large team producing, in the main, occasion wear for his fabulously wealthy A-list clients. It is fully marked with the Galanos Couture label and professional dry clean only.
The condition of the dress is very good. Upon close inspection, we notice some slight abrasions in the silk jersey which in some cases have been repaired as others are light, they have been left. They are on the front of the dress right in the side, towards the hem of the dress. It’s virtually impossible to notice when worn and we only saw them when the dress was in hand and on the second or third inspection prior to listing. Best fit for around a UK size 8 – 10 or US 4-6.

1990s Bellville Sasson Velvet Slip Dress with Sequinned Bodice
By Bellville Sassoon
Located in London, GB
This 1990s Bellville Sassoon floor-length dress is crafted from an amalgamation of beautiful fabrics. The flattering, bias-cut body and skirt are tailored from devoré cloth, showcasing sheer aubergine crepe detailed with velvet patterned with autumnal-hued paisley. The bodice is made from a sheer mesh and is adorned with hundreds of beads in hues picked out from the paisley across the skirt. This beadwork forms a lattice and is finished with swirling paisley shapes that mirror the patterns further down the dress. The bodice has an asymmetric cut with one beaded shoulder and one sleeve tailored from aubergine chiffon and burgundy mesh. The bodice is boned the whole way around, which cinches the waist and flatters the bust; it is lined at the front but at the back remains sheer, meaning that the beads appear to adorn the skin.
This is hands down the best Bellville Sassoon design we have ever had in Circa's collection and this whimsical dress is lined with crimson satin to the floor. The label reads “Bellville Sassoon Lorcan Mullany”. Made in England and in excellent vintage condition with no flaws of any note and looks barely worn. It is labelled a UK size 10 or US 6 but sizes vary hugely between vintage brands, so please check our measurements below. There is no composition label and the fabric has no stretch.
