This pretty lilac slip dress showcases Galliano's love of both drape and cut. It has the added benefit of being a version of the dress that was shown on the runway that season in a longer length and also was photographed on Christy Turlington that year. This version of the dress is quite stunning and the simple design belies a masterful cut. It is suspended from the shoulders by straps that are set with a twist and held by little fabric loops. Each strap is cut and set slightly different from the other and they are placed so that the bodice ends up sitting slightly asymmetrical across the bust. From there the dress falls in a sweeping bias cut that causes it to sensually drape over the body and follow every curve. The skirt also falls on the bias from a curved seam at the waist and there is a high slit that exposes the thigh - set so high that it is almost scandalous. It is so simple but so very sexy. Excellent condition
Unlined and slips over the head to wear.

Phenomenal Fall 2006 John Galliano Black Silk Chiffon Dress w Sequins & Beading
I Have a Question
- This is an amazing example of his work from Fall 2006 and it is gorgeous. It is very similar to a dress that I had in the ship recently but this one is more elaborate and much longer.
- The dress was made under the creative direction of John Galliano.
- This version was made for the shops and like all of the more elaborate bead work pieces he did would have only been released in limited quantities.
- This is a really striking dress that is also very easy to wear because of its simple and bias cut.Â
- The dress is made from three layers that are attached at the top of the shoulder and then float over each other from there. The inside layer is a black silk chiffon and then there is a layer of black silk chiffon that has a texture to it over that. The very top layer is that same textured silk chiffon.
- The dress has a very loose and easy cut through the body.
- The bodice has a beautiful draping neckline at the front and it does the same at the back. One shoulder is wider and a panel draped down from it to form the neck line. The other shoulder is a combination of silk chiffon with a raw lace edging. On that side, there is a tide bow at the top of the shoulder.
- The bodice on the side with the wider strap has pinned detailing that runs vertically down the dress, and the side with the more narrow strap is swept up to one side where there's a large flat bow and a bit of a ruffle created. That ruffle continues all the way to the ham so it appears that the dress has been wrapped around you and the bow is holding it all in place.
- Scattered vertically over the dress are a beautiful design that combines tiny seed beads and silver sequins topped by a tiny bead. These are all set by hand and you can see that on the back. They detail the neckline and then run in little cluster set vertically down the length of the dress.
- Many of the edges have a raw finish, which adds a delicate added texture to the dress that is very pretty.
- This side that has the ruffle feel going all the way to the ham has a split on all three layers so you get a flash of skin and it adds to the beautiful movement. The dress has. The back skirting is cut longer than the front so you get this fantastic sweeping field behind you as well.Â
- Because this dress is all cut on the bias and is so long and easy through the body it really needs a body inside of it to bring it to life. As good as it looks in the photos here it is phenomenal in person and on the body.
- The inner silk chiffon and middle tulle layer act as the lining underneath the top layer. The innermost layer has no closures. The middle layer closes with its own hidden set zipper, and the very top layer closes with one of his signature tightly spaced rows of silk covered buttons.
- The bias cut allows for some range and movement, so I put the comfortable range in lane flat below
- Tagged a FR40, GB12, US6.Â
- Excellent conditionÂ
Bust: 15-19" flat across from side seam to side seam
Waist: 14-17.5" flat across from side seam to side seam
Hips: to 22" flat across from side seam to side seam
Total Length: approx 61" from top of shoulder to front hem and the back extends another 12" past that. Because of the bias cut, it may come up slightly once on.

I Have a Question
- The dress is the twin of the dress that was presented in the Spring 2009 Lookbook for the Galliano label.
- Made under the creative direction of John Galliano.
- It is interesting to note the influence of his Cruise 2008 show for Dior in the style of the dress. It is very similar to the pale green dress shown for Look 58 in that show combined with a dash of the pale yellow dress shown for Look 57.
- The dress is made from a deep yellow silk chiffon that has a slight texture running through it.
- The bodice is gathered up on an angle that attaches into a wide chiffon strap. That strap wraps around the neck to one side and then attaches in at the back. A heavily detailed strap extends out from underneath that to the other side of the neck and then extends down the back to attach.
- The more detailed strap is covered with prong set rhinestones of various shapes and sizes along with muted silver beads in various sizes. It adds a really pretty detail to the dress.
- The waist is defined with a band in the same silk and then the skirt flows to the floor from there. There is a silk lining underneath the top chiffon and it has a very pretty movement when you move.
- Inside the dress has a full built-in white strapless corset that is cupped and lightly boned. The inner corset closes with a series of hooks at the side and then the dress closes over that with one of his signature row of tightly spaced silk covered buttons.
- There is no size tag present so please go by the measurements listed below.
- Excellent condition and appears to have never been worn.

- Fall 2007 dress by John Galliano
- Made of a combination of an ivory silk chiffon that is covered in an ivory net lace
- The dress has a strong nod to the 1920s. It is generously cut through the waist and has a scooped neckline.
- Silk chiffon has been formed into little rosettes on either side of the buttons that run down the side of the dress. Panels of chiffon wrap around the waist from the flowers to add a bit of detail and shape.
- There is a long panel of silk that hangs from one of the rosettes at the front. You can allow it to just trail down the front or hook it over one of the rosettes at the back to create a pretty draping down the full side of the skirt.
- The dress is very light in weight. The silk chiffon underlay acts as the lining.
- It closes with the series of silk covered buttons down the side

Amazing Spring 2002 John Galliano Black Bias Cut Logo Dress w Sweeping Back
I Have a Question
- This is a signature bias cut dress from the Spring 2002 collection by John Galliano
- Made under the creative direction of John Galliano
- There are no closures on the dress. It is completely cut bias and you just slip it over the head to wear and it just falls into place skimming over the body from head to toe.
- The cut of the dress has a strong nod to Couture pieces of the 1930s and 1940s decades that he continuously referenced in his collections.
- The fabric has a silk like finish and is a deep black. Various Galliano logos have been woven directly into the fabric in a different finish thread so as you move these catch the light. The effect is fantastic once it is on the body.
- The fabric obviously would have been custom designed by Galliano and made specifically for this dress
- It scoops down into a V at the front and the back with a band highlighting the entire neckline. It skims over the waist and hips from there and flares out at the lower hem.Â
- The back is cut longer than the front so you get this fantastic sweeping feel behind you. It is in its original uncut length.
- A high slit runs up one side for a flash of leg when you walk.
- Unlined and slips on to wear with no closures.
- The measurements have a lot of range because of the bias cut and no closure so I have given the comfortable range for all below when laying out flat. There is probably a little extra room beyond my measurements, but I do not like to over pull when measuring.
- Tagged a FR42, GB14, US8
- Excellent condition and it appears to have been worn very little if at all.
Bust: 16–19" flat across from side seam to side seam

Gorgeous Fall 2003 John Galliano Bias Cut Deep Purple Silk Dress w Draped Arm Panels
I Have a Question
This dress is from John Galliano's own label and is an incredible example of his work from this time period. This is a production piece that was not shown on the runway but would have been made in limited quantities for the shops. For this season he had emphasized a glamorous hourglass shape mixed with nods to pinup girl lingerie style dressing. These bias cut dresses always harken back to his love of the 1930s and 1940s and you can see that influence in them. This dress with its cut out detailing and that fantastic draping of fabric across the shoulders is absolutely beautiful. This is classic Galliano and is extremely flattering once on the body.
The dress is made out of a deep purple silk that has a slight bit of texture to it. It is completely cut on the bias in that signature cut he does so well and that we all love. The dress falls from a delicate strap that curves up and behind the neck and then it drapes down and over the body to the floor. The bias cut of it allows the dress to skim and drape over you so that it shows every curve but is not overly fitted. The fabric has been pieced together with dropped and angled panels throughout to create the beautiful shape that you see. The dress is suspended from tiny straps that curve up and around the neck. At the back, the strap meet behind the neck and then drop down the centre of the back and panels of silk are suspended from it. These curving panels can be worn either down and under the arms or you can drape your arms through them to create a beautiful curving 'sleeve' effect over the arm. I think that on a real body you might even be able to get clever and do some other styling tricks with them as well. The dress glides over the body past the bust, waist and hips and then flares out as it reaches the hem. It buttons to close down the side with a row of his signature buttons covered in the same silk and then on the other side the fabric is gathered in and up into a wired circle. The circle is open in the centre and the panels that gather into the circle have been cut out and opened so that it forms the shape of a flower trailing over one hip. The dress is lined in a crepe silk but you could choose to remove that lining and have that side be completely bare so that your skin showed through if you wished. I have seen this dress in another colour where someone did that and it looked great. It is an incredible feat of patterning. The dress is even better in person and on the body as the photos cannot fully convey how a bias cut dress moves. It will only truly come to life when worn. Excellent condition with a minor note below.
Fully lined in a slightly deeper purple silk crepe and closes at the side with a series of silk covered buttons. I see perhaps a tiny pull in the fabric here and there which happens with this fabric and a bit of shininess here and there from pressing near seams. All minor and mentioned for accuracy. Tagged a FR42, GB14, US8. The bias cut should allow it to fit a range of sizes with it just draping more in a smaller frame
