A simply elegant day dress by James Galanos, dated to 1954–1963 by its second-era house label. a superb example of the sophistication that made Galanos daywear endure. The careful cutwork, seaming, and gathers on display here are a level of construction rarely seen today; styled up, this piece could easily carry into cocktail hour even now. An elegant boat neckline, rounded shoulders, and wide half-length sleeves complement a gathered waist and full skirt. Constructed from a medium-weight silk blend with a rich, fine texture, the matte silk sets off the black silk satin waist binding — the skirt's gathers create the illusion of a cinched waist, though the back waist tie is purely ornamental. Fully lined in black silk, with a period-correct 1950s Talon metal zip closure down the back. Overall great to excellent condition, commensurate with age.
