Made from white semi-sheer silk chiffon artfully embroidered, it’s construction is such a nod to 1920’s fashion !
The bodice – loosely draped in a wrap style effect – finishes in a dropped waist that’s accentuated by a gently gathered white mesh fabric around the hips. The same tulle fabric ensures a bit of coverage under the front and back plunging V-neckline (see pictures 7 &11).
The skirt of this stunning piece, falls to a paneled, asymmetric hemline which will swish as you walk.
Entirely decorated with light-catching silver sequins and glistening glass tubes that are arranged to form a romantic floral motif, the evening dress is tagged a French size 38 (US 6 / UK 10 / IT 42) and runs true to size. Wear it with strappy sandals and a deep red lip !
Side note (from a fashion history perspective) :
While issues of inclusivity are everywhere today, this was not the case in 2005. And when in October 2005 Sarah Mower writes for Vogue magazine :
“This season, his roll-up, roll-up fashion sideshow had a moral: Everybody’s beautiful; live and let live; respect one another—that sort of thing.”…” It’s a long time since the fashion world has been reminded that humanity contains more variety than the standard race of 5-foot-10 skinnies who populate the runways. And Galliano’s alternative cast, coiffed and made up in a style that suggested cabaret performers and their patrons, played their parts with a celebratory sense of enjoyment.”,
… she simply evokes Galliano’s visionary genius, once again ahead of his time…
Fits approx. : US 4-6 / UK 8-10 / FR 36-38 / IT 40-42
