IF RED IS THE NEW BLACK, THEN RUBY IS THE NEW DIAMOND

Oh Mr. Galanos, you are so talented at taking faux diamonds and rubies and making them look better than the real thing. This mid 60s ruby wool crepe gown has a rectangular insert of Swarovski crystal embellished daisies that also make the straps that criss-cross in the back and create a border for the pyramid-shaped keyhole at the back. You can't tell from the photos, but this dress has hidden pockets at the hips which always solve the problem of "what do I do with my hands?" The solution is simple: buy ME!

James Galanos for I. Magnin ruby wool crepe gown with Swarovski diamond and ruby embroidery, c. mid 1960s. Modern 2 to 4 SOLD
