  • This dress is from John Galliano's own label and is an incredible example of his work from this time period.
  • It was made under the creative direction of John Galliano
  • 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 showcase his love of the 1930s and 1940s and you can see that influence in them.
  • The dress is made out of a deep dusky 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.
  • 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.
  • At the back, the strap meets 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.
  • 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 photos cannot fully convey how a bias cut dress moves. It will only truly come to life when worn.
  • 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
  • Excellent condition

Red clutch
Color: Red
The red clutch is of utter most quality. Looks like genuine leather and the magnets are very strong. You don't need to worry that the bag won't close. I absolutely love it!

Lighter than pictured, but I still like it. Mine arrived with some minor damage.
Color: Beige, Color: Beige
Update: I ended up returning the item since I couldn't justify keeping something that cost close to $40 and came with rips and damage. I was on the hunt for an oversized clutch that could hold a small cropped sweater for an upcoming outdoor wedding. I wanted a taupe/pinky beige color bag and thought this looked like the perfect color in the photo. Now that I've received it I can see that it's definitely more yellow-toned beige color and lighter than the shade shown. Still a nice clutch though and I bay still be using it for the wedding. It has a nice magnetic closer that keeps it folded in place. The included gold chain shoulder strap is super cheap looking and I won't be using it, but nice to have for someone in a pinch who is sick of carrying the purse around. Material is a nice faux leather and looks very similar to a legit Italian leather purse I own. My purse did arrive with some rips on a top seam and an indent in the front of the material. Not sure if I'll go through the hassle of exchanging or not, but definitely look your bag over once it arrives. I included photos with a standard deodorant for scale. The inside is wider than most foldover or envelope style clutches which is exactly what I wanted. Easily holds my phone, small wallet, some makeup items, a small bottle of ibuprofen, and a thin/light material sweater without looking bulky.
