An elegant example of 1980s evening attire by Galanos. A similar iteration from Galanos's Spring 1984 collection was debuted on the runway — a subtle nod to the 1920s. Black Chantilly and other laces make up this sheath-style, long-sleeve cocktail dress composed of 11 tiers of zig-zag cut lace creating a serrated hem. The effect is mesmerizing — each tier catches the light differently, giving the dress a rich, dimensional texture that photographs beautifully from every angle. Sheer above the bodice and at the sleeves for a sultry peek of skin, then fully lined through the body for a polished finish. The combination of multiple lace varieties adds depth and visual complexity that sets this apart from a simple lace dress — this is couture-level construction from one of America's most celebrated designers. Zips up back. Excellent condition.
