1980s Galanos Avant Garde Formal Black GownA unique formal dress by none other than James Galanos. Head to toe black silk for the most gothic of occasions. Textile is unmarked, blouse feels like silk, skirt is likely silk taffeta, hip band is wool. Wide sash belt matches the ribbon band below the wool hips. All parts are black. This is a bold, avant garde formal gown, the style is quite unique, not for the faint of heart! The bodice is loose and made to fit like a blouse. Large shoulder pads.
