2004 John Galliano Needlepoint Floral Print Silk Bias-Cut Gown w/ Matching Scarf

A truly sensational and totally timeless John Galliano needlepoint floral print silk black bias-cut slip gown dating back to his 2004 fall-winter collection. His own label mirrored his work at Christian Dior during the same time. Vogue stated about this collection, "One thing is certain: For all the provocation Galliano likes his presentations to stir up, the real surprise is how scrumptiously pretty it ends up looking in the store" and that couldn't be more true about this dream dress. The fabric used is truly sensational; a luxurious light-weight stretch silk chiffon that hugs the body perfectly. He uses a gorgeous needlepoint floral print in shades purple, pink and green which brings the gown to the next level. It really gives the optical illusion that the whole entire gown is lavishly embroidered. The bodice has a chic thin-strap low scoop neck with a flirty off-shoulder drape. I love the matching scarf that can be worn wrapped around the neck a few different ways. Of course Galliano had to use his iconic 1930's style covered buttons down the side though the gown slips on without any closures. My favorite design element has to be the intricate draping along the lower waist and hips which is so figure flattering. The sculpted bias-cut shape with seductive high side-slit creates a stunning hourglass shape. This rare archival John Galliano beauty will become a new forever favorite that you will treasure for many years to come.
