For those looking for casual elegance than this has to be the perfect dress. Made by the exceptional Galliano, this dress is an 80's twist on the classic 60's Empire dress, with just a hint of Punk thrown in.  As you might expect, there are lovely details - such as the ribbon under the bust and the bows on the shoulder straps. This dress is true black but the material has a slightly see through quality. It is lined in the bodice.

Measurements: this is an extremely difficult dress to measure because of the stretchy material. it is marked a size 12 but Galliano is not generous with his measurements. Small size 12.

Flaws: None: mint condition. 

Label: Galliano
