silk bias cut dress Iconic Fall 2005 John Galliano Black Silk Bias Cut Dress w Plunge Fron – Shrimpton CoutureThe twin of this dress was worn by Anne in 2006 for her character's big scene where she attends the Met Gala near the end of the film. It is an iconic piece and I love it. John Galliano began his own label in 1984 and he was instantly a bit of a 'boy wonder; in fashion.

The twin of this dress was worn by Anne in 2006 for her character's big scene where she attends the Met Gala near the end of the film. It is an iconic piece and I love it. John Galliano began his own label in 1984 and he was instantly a bit of a 'boy wonder; in fashion. He was British Fashion Council Designer of the Year in 1987, 1994 and 1995. In 1991 he made his Paris catwalk debut. In 1995 he was asked to head Givenchy and then went to Dior in October of 1996. Unlike many designers he kept his own label going as well throughout the years at both those houses. His work, especially the bias cut pieces that he did, have a feeling of the decadence and abandonment of the twenties and they are beautifully cut. They marry Old Hollywood with the minimalist spirit of the nineties and early 2000s and the results are stunning. This is an amazing example of his work from the Fall 2005 season and it is gorgeous. This dress was a piece made for production for retail but it has all the things we love about his work presented in a chic and minimalist package.

The dress is gorgeous. It definitely takes inspiration from the bias cut couture pieces of the 20s and 30s. The seam work and simplicity of this dress is stunning to see and it is even better on an actual body. It is made from a beautiful black silk that has a muted satin finish. It has that that same light in weight feel that the best of the 1930s pieces did that were made from similar fabrics. Like those liquid dresses of the thirties this is also cut on the bias. It is cut to flow over the body and skim its way over the bust, waist and hips as it falls to the floor. The neckline is finished with a wide band that curves around your neck and swoops down and across the front. That swooping plunge is slightly set to the side and there is a small hidden hook to hold it in place. If that hook is left undone the plunge becomes deeper and I took a shot of that for you. Pretty seaming through the bodice gives it a slight bit of shape until it meets the dropped waist line. The waist is detailed with three bands of pleating that wrap horizontally around you. It is set wider on the side where it buttons and then narrows down on the other side on a slight slant. That bit of an angle there is a clever way to add length through the body. The skirt flows down to the floor, skimming over the hips, and then flaring out as it reaches the hem. The flaring shape is achieved by the bias cut of the fabric rather then extensive seaming. This gives you a ton of movement around the lower skirt when you walk or move. It also adds to the hourglass shape the dress has. It is all done so that it sits in a certain way on your hips and then that in turn affects how the entire dress sits on your body. The sleeves are incredible. They are sat in a little cape like panel that curves around you. It starts at the front and curves over your shoulders to give you that little cap sleeve feel and then it continues around the back in a dropped curved. The edges are finished with a fine black floral lace. I love how the lace is set into the silk of the panel to follow that pattern that is in the lace. At the side the dress is finished with one of his signature rows of tightly spaced button and loop closures. This becomes a design detail in themselves and it is these subtle little details that Galliano put into his dresses that make them heads above other pieces. I have seen this dress shown with a velvet floral belt piece that sits on one hip and you could easily add something to get that look if you wished. The dress is spectacular. Excellent condition.

Unlined and closes with the buttons down one side. Tagged a Galliano FR42, GB14, US8. The bias cut fabric does have some stretch. The measurements below give you the comfortable range the fabric has when lying flat. The rubber label was reattached just to the side of the original holes after it split during the cleaning process. A common occurrence with this label. It is in its original supermodel length. The bias cut should allow it to fit a range of sizes

Bust: 17-21" flat across from side seam to side seam
Dropped waist: 14-15" flat across from side seam to side seam
Hips: 18-22" flat across from side seam to side seam
Bodice: approx 18" from neck to dropped seam
Total length: 61" from neck to hem

Modern Sizing Equivalent: SML-MED

Fits well! XL is Real!
Color: (239) Elite Beige / Elite Beige / Halo Gray, Size: X-Large
As far as I know, these are the only XL no show tan socks on Amazon that actually fit a size 14 foot. I've tried a few other that don't fit after wearing them once. This is a regular feeling sock and not the thin hose type like other XL.

Versatile Room Divider With Easy Assembly and Strong Coverage
Size: 3 Panel 12FT W
I picked up this Siebwin 3-panel folding room divider mainly for privacy and room separation, and overall it works very well. Assembly is very straightforward, and the divider can be set up, taken apart, and stored without much effort. The fabric quality feels good, and the frame construction is stronger and more stable than expected. The support tubes especially feel well built and help keep the divider standing securely. One feature I really liked is the flexibility of the design. The panels can be used together as a complete divider or separated depending on the setup and available space. That makes it much more versatile for different room layouts or temporary privacy needs. The coverage is also very good, and the size matches the manufacturer’s description accurately. The fabric blocks light and background visibility well enough to provide solid privacy without feeling overly heavy. The wider feet also help improve stability compared to thinner folding dividers. Another positive detail is that everything arrived complete with no missing parts or damaged pieces, which made assembly much easier and faster. Compared to cheaper privacy screens, this one feels more durable and easier to customize depending on the situation. In terms of value for the money, it feels like a very practical and worthwhile purchase considering the size, flexibility, and build quality. Overall, a versatile and well-built room divider with easy assembly, strong privacy coverage, stable construction, complete included parts, flexible panel configuration, and excellent everyday functionality.

Stable, flexible in deployment configuration, creates true privacy and looks great.
Size: 3 Panel 12FT W
This is the second room divider panel I have installed, and there are several features about this one that I like much better than my older one. The fact that there are no gaps and that the material is thicker means you get more privacy or more hiding power, if you wish. My older divider has vertical spaces between each of the panels and the panels are half as wide as the Siebwin panels, so there are many vertical spaces. The Siebwin divider really creates privacy. Another feature that I really appreciate is that the legs are wider and stand off from the floor. On my older one the legs are flat and they're rather awkward to adjust because they create more drag on the floor. The feet on the older one also loosen if you turn them counter clockwise, so adjustments of configuration that require the feet to be moved are more complex. The older divider also must be deployed in a zig-zag fashion because he feet are not as wide, but this new one can be deployed and stable in a straight, an "N" shape or an arc. They are both the same length, but because the older one must be use in a zig-zag deployment it doesn't reach to the length of the new one. The Siebwin divider definitely costs more at $103.48, but it sports several features and advantages over the other brand, so it does a better job and is worth the extra cost.
