1960s Couture Maggy Reeves Silk Gown designer-james-galanos If I had to guess

If I had to guess I would say it was a piece by Geoffrey Beene - it has that same rounded hem shaped skirt and has that feel to it

A Lanvin piece is a masterful mix of prints and this one is no different

It wraps and hooks to close and it still has its original silk chiffon sash to further cinch and define the waist The sleeves are quite full and done deliberately so as each has a fantastic sequin detail

It closes with a series of buttons down the front and these are all hidden under the front panel of fabric It is utterly gorgeous

Bust: no defined side seams as the sleeves come out form the top of the waist band

It is a delight and privilege to be able to pass on a piece of her work! This dress is extraordinarily beautiful, It is constructed entirely of silk the bodice is a soft slinky, high grade silk and the skirt is a heavy weight luxurious silk satin. The bodice has an almost dolman sleeve and is cut fairly simple with a dramatically scooped and plunged neckline. It
