     PROSPECTUS
                               1,699,492 SHARES

                           THE WARNACO GROUP, INC.

                             CLASS A COMMON STOCK

          The 1,699,492 shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $.01
     per share (the "Common Stock"), of The Warnaco Group, Inc., a
     Delaware corporation (the "Company"), are being registered for the
     account of  (i) certain entities to which Calvin Klein, Inc., a
     New York corporation (the " Selling Stockholder")  may pledge any
     or all of such shares in connection with indebtedness of  the
     Selling Stockholder (the "CKI Pledgees") and (ii) the Selling
     Stockholder.  See "Plan of Distribution" herein.  These shares
     represent approximately 4% of the 42,044,192 shares of Common
     Stock outstanding as of November 18, 1994.

          These shares are being registered pursuant to an agreement
     dated March 14, 1994 (the "Registration Rights Agreement") between
     the Company and CKI pursuant to which, (i) the CKI Pledgees may
     sell any or all of the Common Stock which may be pledged to such
     pledgee pursuant to a margin call exercised in good faith in
     accordance with such pledgee's margin maintenance policies and 
     (ii)  subject to certain limitations on the number of shares which
     can be sold by CKI during certain periods  as set forth in the
     Registration Rights Agreement and as more fully described
     hereinafter, the Selling Stockholder may sell  part or all  of the
     Registrable Shares (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement
     to include the 1,699,492 shares of common stock to which this
     Prospectus relates and certain securities of the Company issued or
     issuable with respect thereto).  The Common Stock offered hereby
     may also be sold from time to time to purchasers directly by the
     CKI Pledgees and the Selling Stockholder, or through agents,
     underwriters or dealers designated from time to time by such
     holders, on terms to be determined at the time of sale.  To the
     extent required, the aggregate amount of Common Stock being offered
     by the CKI pledgees, the terms of any such offering, the names of
     the CKI Pledgees offering such shares, the names of any agents,
     underwriters or dealers and any applicable commission with respect
     to any such offer will be set forth in an accompanying Prospectus
     Supplement.  The Selling Stockholder may sell the Common Stock
     offered hereby from time to time on the New York Stock Exchange or
     such other national security exchange, automated interdealer
     quotation system on which the shares of Common Stock are then
     listed, through negotiated transactions or otherwise at market
     prices prevailing at the time of the sale or at negotiated prices.  
     The aggregate proceeds to the CKI Pledgees and the Selling
     Stockholder, as the case may be, from the sale of the Common Stock
     will be the selling price of the Common Stock sold less the
     aggregate agents' commissions, if any, and other expenses of
     issuance and distribution not borne by the Company.   None of the
     proceeds from any of such sales of the Common Stock will be
     received by the Company.  See "Plan of Distribution" herein for a
     description of indemnification arrangements between the Company and
     the holders of such common stock.

          The Common Stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange
     under the symbol "WAC."  On November 21, 1994, the last sale price
     of the Common Stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange
     Composite Tape was $17 1/4.  Prospective purchasers of the Common
     Stock are urged to obtain current information as to market prices
     of the Common Stock.

                              USE OF PROCEEDS

          The shares of Common Stock covered by this Prospectus are
     offered for the accounts of the  CKI Pledgees or the Selling
     Stockholder.  The Company will not receive any of the proceeds
     from the sale of Common Stock offered hereby.

                            SELLING STOCKHOLDER

          The Selling Stockholder is CKI.  All of the shares of Common
     Stock which may be offered hereby are for the account of CKI,
     unless they are sold by the CKI Pledgees.  The Company will not
     receive any of the proceeds from the sale of such securities. 
     CKI received all of the shares of Common Stock being offered
     hereby in connection with the Acquisition Agreement described
     below.  See "Plan of Distribution."

                            PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

          On March 14, 1994, the Company entered into an Acquisition
     Agreement (the "Acquisition Agreement") with the Selling
     Stockholder and Warnaco Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the 
     Company ("Warnaco")  in connection with the acquisition of the
     worldwide trademarks, rights and business of Calvin Klein  Men's
     Underwear, the licensing of the Calvin Klein trademark for men's
     accessories and, upon the expiration of an existing license on
     December 31, 1994, the acquisition of the worldwide trademarks
     and rights of Calvin Klein Women's Intimate Apparel (the "Calvin
     Klein Acquisition").  The consideration for the Calvin Klein
     Acquisition included the 1,699,492 shares of Common Stock issued
     to the Selling Stockholder to which this Prospectus relates.

          In connection with the Acquisition Agreement, the Company
     entered into the Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to which
     the Company agreed to provide registration rights to effect, as
     more fully described below, certain sales of the shares of Common
     Stock registered hereby by entities to which the Selling
     Stockholder may pledge any or all of such shares.  As set forth
     in the Registration Rights Agreement, the Selling Stockholder may
     pledge from time to time part or all of the Registrable Shares as
     security for a loan and each such pledgee may sell, pursuant to
     the Registration Statement, any or all of such Registrable Shares
     pledged to such pledgee pursuant to a margin call exercised in
     good faith in accordance with such pledgee's margin maintenance
     policies, provided that such pledgee complies with certain
     requirements set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement.

           Among other things, the Registration Rights Agreement  also
     provides that at any time after September 14, 1994, any holder or
     holders of at least 25% of the outstanding  Registrable Shares
     may request that the Company effect the registration under the
     Securities Act of all or part of the Registrable Shares, subject
     to the terms thereof including certain volume limitations.   This
     Prospectus and the Registration Statement (the "Registration
     Statement")  of which its is a part are being filed in response
     to such a request.  Specifically, the Registration Rights
     Agreement provides for certain restrictions on the number of
     shares which can be sold by the Selling Stockholder as follows:
     (i) for the period from September 14, 1994 to March 14, 1995, the
     Selling Stockholder may sell a number of Registrable Shares equal
     to the lesser of (x) one-third of the Total Shares (as defined in
     the Registration Rights Agreement to include the total number of
     shares to which the Registration Statement relates plus certain
     securities of the Company issued or issuable with respect
     thereto) and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock permitted
     to be sold in such six-month period in accordance with the volume
     limitations set forth in Rule 144(e) promulgated under the
     Securities Act ("Rule 144(e)"), and (ii) for the period March 14,
     1994 to September 14, 1995, the Selling Stockholder may sell a
     number of Registrable Shares equal to the lesser of (x) two-
     thirds of the Total Shares less the number of shares of Common
     Stock, if any, sold in the preceding six-month period pursuant to
     clause (i) above and (y) the number of shares of Class A Common
     Stock permitted to be sold during the preceding 12-month period
     in accordance with the volume limitations set forth in Rule
     144(e) less the number of shares of Common Stock, if any, sold in
     the preceding 6-month period pursuant to clause (i) above.

          From and after September 14, 1995,  except as explicitly set
     forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, CKI shall have no
     restrictions whatsoever pursuant to the Registration Rights
     Agreement on the sale,  disposition or other assignment of any of
     the Registrable Shares.

          The Common Stock offered hereby may also be sold from time
     to time to purchasers directly by any of the CKI Pledgees and the
     Selling Stockholder, as the case may be, or through agents or
     dealers to be designated, on terms to be determined at the time
     of sale.  The Selling Stockholder may sell the Common Stock
     offered hereby from time to time on the New York Stock Exchange
     or such other national security exchange, automated interdealer
     quotation system on which the shares of Common Stock are then
     listed, through negotiated transactions or otherwise at market
     prices prevailing at the time of the sale or at negotiated
     prices.  

          Because no CKI Pledgee has offered to sell the Common Stock
     as described above, the identities of the CKI Pledgees who may
     sell shares of Common Stock hereunder and the number of such
     shares held by any such CKI Pledgee are unknown.  In addition,
     any CKI Pledgee has the ability to sell all or a portion of the
     shares of Common Stock owned by it pursuant to a margin call
     exercised in good faith in accordance with such pledgee's margin
     maintenance policies; therefore, no estimate can be made of the
     number of shares of Common Stock that a CKI Pledgee may sell in
     or may retain upon the completion of any offering to which this
     Prospectus relates.  

          The names of CKI Pledgees intending to offer shares of
     Common Stock for sale hereunder, the number of such shares
     proposed to be so offered and the terms of such offering, and the
     number of such shares owned prior to and after the completion of
     any such offering shall be set forth in an accompanying
     Prospectus Supplement.

          The Common Stock offered hereby may be sold from time to
     time in one or more transactions at a fixed offering price, which
     may be changed, or at varying prices determined at the time of
     sale or at negotiated prices.  Such prices will be determined by
     the CKI Pledgees and the Selling Stockholder, as the case may be.

          In connection with the Registration Rights Agreement
     pursuant to which the Company has filed with the Commission the
     Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part, the
     Company has agreed to use its best efforts to cause the
     Registration Statement to become effective and agreed to
     indemnify the holders of the Common Stock (and agents, employees,
     officers and directors of and control persons with respect to
     such holders) against certain civil liabilities in connection
     with such registration.  In addition, the Company has agreed
     pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement to pay all
     reasonable fees and expenses incident to its performance of or
     compliance with such agreement other than all fees and expenses
     incurred by the Selling Stockholders (including fees and expenses
     of any counsel, financial adviser or any other adviser or agent
     retained by such holder and all discounts, commissions and other
     selling expenses associated with the sale of the Common Stock).


                               LEGAL MATTERS

          The legality of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby
     will be passed upon for the Company by  Stanley P. Silverstein,
     Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of the Company.

     ITEM 15.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

               Reference is made to Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware
     General Corporation Law (the "DGCL"), which enables a corporation
     in its original certificate of incorporation or an amendment
     thereto to eliminate or limit the personal liability of a
     director for violations of the director's fiduciary duty, except
     (i) for any breach of the director's duty of  loyalty to the
     corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not
     in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a
     knowing violation of law, (iii) pursuant to Section 174 of the
     DGCL (providing for liability of directors for unlawful payment
     of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions) or (iv)
     for any transaction from which a director derived an improper
     personal benefit.  The Company has adopted an amendment to its
     Certificate of  Incorporation, which eliminates the liability of
     directors to the extent permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the
     DGCL.

               Reference is made to Section 145 of the DGCL which
     provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers
     as well as other employees and individuals against expenses
     (including attorneys' fees),  judgments, fines and amounts paid
     in settlement in connection with specified actions, suits or 
     proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
     investigative (other than an action by or in the  right of the
     corporation (a "derivative action"));  if they acted in good
     faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not
     opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with
     respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable
     cause to believe their conduct was unlawful.  A similar standard
     is applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that
     indemnification only extends to expenses (including attorneys'
     fees) incurred in connection with defense or settlement of such
     action, and the statute requires court approval before there can
     be any indemnification where the person seeking indemnification
     has been found liable to the corporation.  The statute provides
     that it is not exclusive of other indemnification that may be
     granted by a corporation's charter, by-laws, disinterested
     director vote, stockholder vote, agreement or otherwise.  The
     Bylaws of the Company provide for  indemnification of its
     directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by
     Delaware law.

               Reference is made to the Restated Certificate of
     Incorporation of the Company, and Article VIII of the Bylaws of
     the Company.

               In addition, the Company maintains a directors' and
     officers' liability insurance policy and has entered into
     indemnification agreements with each of its executive officers
     and directors.

     ITEM 17.  UNDERTAKINGS

               (a)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

               (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
     being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement
     to include any material information with respect to the plan of
     distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or
     any material change to such information in the Registration Statement.

               (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
     the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
     to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
     therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
     deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

               (3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
     amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at
     the termination of the offering.

               (b)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for
     purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each
     filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
     15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an
     employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
     Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration
     Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating
     to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
     at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
     thereof.

               (c)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under
     the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and
     controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing
     provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the
     opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy
     as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. 
     In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
     (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid
     by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
     successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by
     such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
     securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion
     of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
     submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
     indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
     Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
     issue.


                                    SIGNATURES

               Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933,
     the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that
     it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-3 and has duly
     caused this Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement to be signed
     on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the
     City of New York, State of New York, on November 22, 1994.

                                        November 22, 1994

          Securities and Exchange Commission
          450 Fifth Street, N.W.
          Washington, D.C.  20549

          Gentlemen:

                    I am Vice President and General Counsel of The
          Warnaco Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
          "Company"), and have acted as such in connection with the
          Company's Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the
          "Registration Statement") being filed by the Company with
          the Securities and Exchange Commission under the
          Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
          Act"), providing for the registration for sale of up to
          1,699,492 shares (the "Shares") of the Company's Class A
          Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, issued to Calvin
          Klein, Inc., a New York corporation ("CKI") pursuant to
          an Acquisition Agreement dated March 14, 1994 (the
          "Acquisition Agreement"), among the Company, CKI and
          Warnaco Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct,
          wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

                    This opinion is delivered in accordance with
          the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K
          under the Securities Act.

                    In connection with this opinion, I have
          examined and am familiar with originals or copies,
          certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of
          (i) the Registration Statement, (ii) the Acquisition
          Agreement, including the related Registration Rights
          Agreement, dated March 14, 1994, between the Company and
          CKI, (iii) certain resolutions adopted by the Board of
          Directors of the Company relating, among other things, to
          the Acquisition Agreement and the transactions
          contemplated thereby, including the issuance and
          registration of the Shares, (iv) the Certificate of
          Incorporation of the Company, as amended, (v) the By-laws
          of the Company as currently in effect, and (vi) such
          other corporate records or documents as I have deemed
          necessary to enable me to express the opinion hereinafter
          set forth.

                    In my examination, I have assumed the legal
          capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all
          signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted
          to me as originals, the conformity to original documents
          of all documents submitted to me as certified or
          photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals
          of such latter documents.

                    I am a member of the Bar in the State of New
          York, and I do not express any opinion as to the laws of
          any other jurisdiction other than Delaware general
          corporation law and the laws of the United States of
          America to the extent referred to specifically herein.

                    Based upon and subject to the foregoing, I am
          of the opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized
          for issuance by requisite corporate action on the part of
          the Company and are validly issued, fully paid and
          nonassessable.

                    I hereby consent to the reference to me under
          the heading "Legal Matters" in the prospectus which
          constitutes a part of the Registration Statement and the
          filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration
          Statement.

                                        Very truly yours,

                                        /s/ Stanley P. Silverstein
                                        ___________________________
