Galanos silk dress & jacket, 1980s
Galanos was one of the few couturiers whose name was known to the general public. This allowed him to change his design focus: "I was really interested in making collections for the public, ready-to-wear. But I wanted to do it in the couture method, where you use the finest fabric, the finest workmanship. The clothes are 95% made by hand, and the rest is a little machine sewing. That's my reputation." His self-appraisal is accurate.
This fabulous day wear ensemble for the self-assured and stylish woman is signature Galanos. The jacket is crisply tailored with a diagonal button closure; the dress bodice has an easy, sensual drape.
The outfit is fashioned from substantial weight silk crepe. I love the graphic floral print. The jacket is lined with silk crepe, while the dress is lined with black charmeuse. The dress closes in back with an invisible zipper. Both pieces have a Galanos label.
The condition is excellent. It is clean and ready to wear.
The dress measures: 38" bust, 28" waist, 40" hip, and 38" from the shoulder to the hem.
The jacket measures: 38" bust, 16 3/4" from shoulder seam to shoulder seam, 23 1/2" sleeve
length, and 18 1/2" center-back length.
