JAMES GALANOS Red Floral Silk Dress w/Tiered Skirt & Statement Sleeves SZ 2
From the most elegant and acclaimed of American designers, James Galanos, comes this remarkable 1980s red floral dress with a crinkled chiffon top and silk faille tiered skirt. The bodice comprises two layers of the crinkled chiffon lined with a third layer of solid red chiffon. The beautiful sleeves are gathered at the shoulders and where they are attached to fantastic 9.5-inch long densely ruched cuffs. The skirt is made in four tiers of red silk faille fabric printed with little bouquets of bright flowers. I was perplexed by the fact that the bottom tier was a different length that the other three tiers. After close examination, I believe the fourth tier was originally the same length as the third tier, and its hem was let down in order to add a couple of inches to the length of the dress; this alteration can easily be reversed if desired. All the tiers are lined in red silk chiffon. The dress also has shoulder pads and closes with a hidden back zipper; the ruched cuffs also close with hidden zippers. The dress can be worn with or without the adjustable belt. It is 3.5-inches wide, bound in red leather all the way around, and it closes with a pair of hidden hooks. No fabric labels are present, but our knowledge of fabrics and of Galanos designs assures us that all the fabrics are silk. There is no size label, but based on the measurements, the dress is closest overall to a modern size 2, or Extra Small. Please refer to the measurements for the best guidance regarding actual size and compare with a similar garment that fits you. 

MEASUREMENTS
- Shoulder width is 16"
- Underam chest measurement  is 34"
- Waist is 24
- Hips are 36" at about 8" below the waist.
- Length is 37" down center back. Original length is 35".

CONDITION
The dress is in excellent condition with a reversible alteration to the length of the bottom tier. The dress overall presents as new, but after close examination, I found a couple of very faint signs of previous wear that would not normally be seen. The belt looks like brand new.
