This is a striking late 1960s Galanos cocktail dress. It is a true showpiece, constructed in an extraordinary metallic brocade with swirling patterns in gold, emerald green, and black. The fabric alone is a work of art! Bold, sculptural, and incredibly luxe with a rich dimensional sheen that catches the light beautifully. The cut is sleek yet dramatic, with a plunging neckline, and a softly flared skirt. It comes with its original matching belt, stamped Galanos at the back. It is fully lined and zips up the back. It is in excellent condition, light pulls to the fabric consistent with age. I have had this professionally dry cleaned. This dress is meant to have a bit of room and not meant to be form fitted. The same dress is held in The Met’s collection.
Bust: 36”
Waist: 34” (allow for wearable ease)
Shoulders: 15”
Arm: 23”
Length: 38”
Hem: 2.5”
