Galanos, Khaki Wool Gabardine Dress

Galanos, Khaki Wool Gabardine Dress

Khaki wool gabardine with no visible closures at the front, but four gold-painted plastic buttons set in functional bound buttonholes at the back, two per side, tacking downside vents below the waistline. Garment is secured via a grosgrain belt sewn into the garment at the waist and closed with a belt hood and bar. Notched lapel is made of a collar narrower than the lapel. Bodice reveals a side panel cut in two along the side seam.
