1950s Silk Jersey & Tulle Lace Full Skirted Dress designer-james-galanos Unbelievable red silk Bob Mackie

Unbelievable red silk Bob Mackie gown whose fabric has gold thread woven through the red

5" across from outside edges of braiding detail

It is bias cut and with as little seaming as possible - I think his life goal was to work dresses around fabric rather then seam fabric into shape

The print is amazing - different size and varieties of fish swim about its surface in a beautiful array of colors

1950s Silk Jersey & Tulle Lace Full Skirted Dress designer-james-galanos Unbelievable red silk Bob MackieAn amazing late forties, early fifties dress that makes a pretty, yet dramatic statement. The top is made from a slinky black silk jersey that is gathered and softly pleated to really show off the bodice. The seams are cut so that you get that pin up, cinch waist feel. I love it and I love the sexy plunge on both the front and back. The skirt is wonderful it is made of three layers over top each other. The innermost layer is a nude silky rayon
