Gorgeously Gothic Galliano Wedding Dresses

I believe, Goth and people who love alternative wedding dresses being a bit of a tease when they saw a detail from the John Galliano for Christian Dior Couture dress. It was one of the most gorgeous Gothic wedding dresses ever and decent appreciated. Just look at the size of it and those incredible flounces! John Galliano is one of my all time favourite designers because I adore the way that he is so heavily inspired by the fashions of the past, particularly the eighteenth century.

Amazing isn’t it? Just look at the size of it and those incredible flounces! John Galliano is one of all time favourite gothic designers. I adore the way that he is so heavily inspired by the fashions of the past, particularly the eighteenth century.

In this piece, I see a merging of the flamboyant gowns of the second half of the eighteenth century with the profound black of Victorian mourning. I love the eschelles on the front of the bodice – they wouldn’t look out of place on Madame de Pompadour. This Gothic Galliano Dress for House of Dior which is known as the Maria Luisa, is held in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, but unfortunately its not for public view. In this design, John Galliano for Dior combined the elements of a robe à la française with the vast crinolined silhouettes of the mid-nineteenth century.

The stomacher, open overskirt, and petticoat of the gorgeous dress expressly eighteenth century, but the huge wired cages that support the skirts over nine feet wide are constructed more like the hoops of the Second Empire than the discrete by comparison panniers of the ancien régime. While the eighteenth-century woman could at least sidle through a doorway, Galliano’s beauties, because of the depths of their skirts, would have to torque and deform their hoops to squeeze their way through.

Actually, this gorgeous gothic wedding dress also reminds me of the black taffeta one worn by Princess Diana on her first public engagement. Although really I can more readily picture Madonna in this particular beauty.
