Christian Dior

A beautiful vintage dress from the 50s by legendary French fashion designer, Christian Dior. In a blue and black wool with a statement collar, bracelet length sleeves, a looser fit on top contrasting with the nipped waist. Perfect for day or evening, this dress would look as incredible worn in the office as it would dressed up at a cocktail party. As it is a wool it is perfect for fall / autumn.

Considered to be demi-couture, as this is Christian Dior London, the client of this dress would have seen the haute couture collection or fashion illustrations and ordered it to be custom made, with any changes and bought at the Dior London Salon. Beautifully made with much of it hand finished.
