By 1954 he had won a Coty award and the Neiman Marcus award.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHis ready-to-wear line was made close to couture standards and with a level of craftsmanship that was on par with the French couturiers. He was truly one of the great American designers and his work is held in all of the major museums around the world.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis is an outstanding Galanos. It is extremely well made with a very high level of construction techniques.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe dress is made out of a beautiful floral printed silk chiffon. The base is black and then the print is a deep, beautiful pink with pops of green for the leaves. The print forms large flowers mixed with smaller floating petals that cascade over the entire dress.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe neckline is scooped and the sleeves are angled slightly towards the neckline. The shoulders are soft, and the sleeves are fuller near the shoulder and then narrow to the wrist.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe bar skins over you and the waist feels like it is cut slightly more generously. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe skirt curves out over the hips and widen out as it near the floor for pretty movement. This one the skirt has been wrapped around from the back and meets at the centre and the silk forms two panels that have the illusion of being nodded at the waist and then cascading down on either side of the centre line. Everything is closed in and under that centre point but it gives a pretty detail down the front that is just fantastic to see.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe workmanship on the dress is absolutely stunning and the vast majority of it is all done by hand. This is an easy to wear and very pretty dress by one of the great American designers that is done to a demi-couture level\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe dresses lined with a black silk, except for the sleeves that have been left unlined. It zips to close at the back with a hand set zipper. Hand finishes throughout. The dress appears to have worn very little if at all.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe dress has no size tag so please go by the listed measurements below.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent condition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eSleeves: 22\" and they are 13\" around the upper arm\u003cbr\u003eSlightly inset shoulders: approximately 14\"\u003cbr\u003eBust: to 17.5\" flat across from side seam to side seam\u003cbr\u003eWaist: to 14\" flat across from side seam to side seam\u003cbr\u003eHips: to 21\" flat across from side seam to side seam\u003cbr\u003eBodice: 15\" from top of shoulder to waist\u003cbr\u003eTotal length: 56\" from top of shoulder to the longest point of the hem\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eModern Sizing Equivalent: XS-MED\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eItem# DD5701\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAll items are thoroughly checked over before shipping.
