This gorgeous gown wonderfully captures the undertone of Victorian nostalgia that often permeated the era. The attached inner slip dress is composed of a delicate semi-sheer black silk chiffon with Chantilly lace overlay. The straps of the slip are flesh-toned as to not interrupt the beautiful raglan seamwork that draws the attention to the elegantly high neckline. The billowing bishop sleeves gather at the cuff with an elasticized band. The sleeves provide a bit of modesty with the semi-sheer single layer of lace. A scalloped tier of lace sits at the waistline. The skirt of the gown consists of an outer layer of lace and an inner layer of lace backed with silk chiffon. One zipper closure is hidden under the first layer of the skirt and an additional zipper is located at the mid back of the slit underneath a row of covered velvet button up to the back of the neck. Exquisitely constructed. A design so mystifying we could see it styled in a classic conservative style or in a romantic bohemian direction.\nGreat condition commensurate with age.\nFits like a US 2.\nBust: 31\"\nWaist: 24\"\nHip: Up to 42\"\nLength: 59\"\nSleeves: 22\"\nShoulder: 18.5\" (Approx.)\n--\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"max-width: 600px; margin: 0 auto; font-family: -apple-system, sans-serif;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"width: 60px; height: 1px; background: #000; margin: 20px auto;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 30px; color: #333;\"\u003eA dark and romantic 1970's evening gown by \u003cstrong\u003eJames Galanos\u003c\/strong\u003e, steeped in the Victorian nostalgia that ran quietly through much of the decade's evening wear. The attached inner slip is a delicate semi-sheer black \u003cstrong\u003esilk chiffon\u003c\/strong\u003e, layered beneath a \u003cstrong\u003eChantilly lace overlay\u003c\/strong\u003e that carries the whole design. Flesh-toned slip straps are a deliberate omission, left invisible so nothing interrupts the raglan seamwork drawing the eye up toward the elegantly high neckline. Billowing bishop sleeves gather at the cuff on an elasticized band, their single sheer layer of lace offering just enough modesty. A scalloped tier of lace marks the waistline, and the skirt itself is built in two layers — an outer lace shell over an inner layer of lace backed with silk chiffon. Construction is exacting throughout: one hidden zipper sits beneath the first skirt layer, a second closes the mid-back slit, and a row of covered velvet buttons continues up to the back of the neck. Versatile in a way few pieces this ornate manage — equally at home styled conservative-classic or romantic-bohemian. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe label is the 3rd GALANOS label,  dating this piece roughly no later than 1977.
