Dreamy Spring 2008 Christian Dior by John Galliano Ivory Silk Chiffon Dress w Hand Done Floral Embroidery designer-vivienne-westwood This is a spectacular example

This is a spectacular example of Galanos and the evening dresses that he did so very well

The body of the dress is fully lined in silk gauze hand dyed a green to match the exterior silk chiffon
