This is a stunning Dior dress from the Raf Simons era and I believe that it is the production / retail version of Look 22 that he created for the Spring 2014 Haute Couture show. I have included a photo of the couture dress from the runway here so you can see. The fabric of the two pieces are very different but the same shape is there. You can see the similarities in the cut and that high squared off cut out at the front of the skirt. I love this one with its startling flash of that pale pink silk inside the skirt. It is extremely beautiful and perfectly representative of Raf's time at the label and what his vision for Dior looked like.

This dress is just magical. It is made out of a black silk that is completely and densely covered with thousands and thousands of the tiniest black sequins. They are densely applied and spaced to butt up against each other to cover every square inch of the dress. Because they are so tiny it almost makes the dress looks like it is covered in rock crystals or something of that effect. No matter what angle you see the dress from it will catch and glint in the light. The shoulders are softly rounded and they come slightly off the top of your shoulders. The opening for your arms curves back just a touch inwards towards the dress and I love how this is all shaped. It is all very subtle but it gives you this really pretty shape at the top. From under that the dress falls in one long column. The simplicity of the cut is offset by the thousands of sequins that cover it. The skirt widens out a touch as it nears the hem. At the front you have that incredible cut out. When you lay the dress out flat you realize that this cut out is created by splitting it up one side at the front to just above the knee and then he slit it across horizontally to a point a few inches from the other side. Where most would have removed that panel Raf allowed it to simply hang down. This created this stunning ruffled effect down the one side that has incredible movement. To highlight this unusual design even more he lined the whole thing in a pale pink silk crepe. This unexpected contrast between the black sequins and pale pink is just fantastic. This was an extremely hard dress to show properly on a dress form but once on the body it is 10X better because of the movement that lower skirt creates and the way it will fall over an actual body. It is this long elegant sheath with that unexpected twist. Very very Raf. Excellent condition.

Fully lined in a pale pink silk crepe. It slips over the head to wear with a button closure at the back of the neck. It looks to have been worn very little if at all. Pockets along each hip. Original uncut length. Meant to be oversized on a smaller frame and will sit more like a sheath on a larger. Tagged a Dior FR36, GB8, IT40, US4

Waist: to 18" flat across from side seam to side seam
Hips: to 19" flat across from side seam to side seam
Length: 65" from top of bodice to waist

This dress is phenomenal. The twin of this dress in a different colourway walked the runway as Look 47 for the 2018 resort season. The show was held in the remote Upper Las Virgenes Canyon Open Space Preserve in Calabasas, California. The show was star packed with Rihanna, Charlize Theron and Solange Knowles there alongside the fashion pack. The inspiration for the show came from the archives and Chiuri said 'she went to the archives, where she came across the house founder’s Lascaux collection of 1951, inspired by the ancient cave paintings discovered in southwestern France a decade earlier.' This dress to me also harkened back to  the earlier Galliano era and in particular the Resort 2008 collection where a a yellow dress that is very similar to this one was shown.

This is a dress that is insanely sexy and bare feeling and yet that bright joyful  colour, minimal lines and feather light silk keep it feeling fresh. The dress is a made out of layers of silk chiffon, silk tulle and silk that falls like a dream over the body. It is light and easy to wear and feels like a dream once on the body. The lightness of the fabric allows it to move and float around you  as you walk and move. The bodice has a halter style front that plunges right to the waist. The front plunges into a low V that slightly crosses over itself where it meets the ruffled band of fabric at the waist. The tops of the triangle that cover the bust are twisted for detailing and then they fall into a deep V at the back that sits wider apart so that it actually has a more open squared off feel where it meets the waist. The sides are also left open and bare to the waist so that you have a flash of skin there too. Despite its bareness it is cleverly cut so that when you have it on it stays perfectly in place. The waist is seamed and finished with a ruffle of silk chiffon that adds to the feminine feel of the dress. This ruffled detailing sits just under the base of the plunge. Under that the skirt flows to the floor in a sweep of silk. There is a tremendous amount of fabric in the skirt and this gives the skirt beautiful movement when you move. The skirt has several layers. The top layer is a silk chiffon that has that touch of texture to it. Then there are two layers of silk tulle under that and a final inner layer of silk next to your skin. The lightness and fullness of the skirt lets it catch the air at your slightest movement and billows out around you as you walk. The effect this has once on and when you move is fantastic. The reference runway footage gives you an idea of how great it is and how fabulous it is on the body. It appears to have been worn very little if at all. Excellent condition with a small note below

Lined in a yellow silk as described above and closes with a back hidden set zipper. Tagged a FR40, UK12, IT45, US8. There are two tiny decently done repairs near the zipper that get lost in the fabric once on from where it probably caught when being zipped. It otherwise looks to have been worn very little if at all. Please see the photos after the label shot

This is a very chic 1970s Christian Dior dress from the Marc Bohan years. It is a wonderful example of the work being done during this time period. The dress perfectly shows the restraint that the label could have when it delved into minimalism while still being able to make a statement through that stunning colour. The dress dates to the early - mid 1970s. It has an earlier rendition of the ready tp wear label in it but at this point in Dior's history that still meant a piece with many hand finishes. Which is what this one has. The jersey makes it a very easy and comfortable dress to wear. Don't let the simplicity of it fool you. This is a dream to wear and the simple lines are offset by the high quality silk jersey and the ease and beauty it has once on.

The dress is made from a the perfect yellow silk jersey that drapes beautifully over the body. The bodice has a scooped neckline at both the back and the front. It sits low on the bust at the front for a touch of sexuality to offset the simple lines. It is cut to skim over the bust and then the waist is seamed and set slightly dropped. I added a grosgrain ribbon tie belt in the same colour and  you can use this to make the top blouse over more, wear it without the belt and if it works on your body you could even wear it with the waist seam sitting lower so that the top does not blouse over at all and you get a more dropped waist even longer feel. At the back it stays as simple as the front dropping just a touch lower for a bare expanse to show across the upper back and shoulders. The skirt is set into the waist seam and then skims smoothly over the hips and then falls in a series of three tiers of jersey under that to the floor. These tiers give it the most incredible movement around you when you move. It is cut super model long and is in its original length. This is a dress that you just slip on and it is perfect for day or evening. You can also extend its life by layering under or over it for a full range of looks. Excellent condition with a note below

Unlined and it closes with a hand set back zipper. The ribbon at the waist is not original to the dress but will be included. I see a tiny bit of repair / fraying to the base of the zipper area and a pinhead size dot on the front that is hidden when it blouses over. There are some marks and a couple of pinholes on the lowest tier mainly at the back. The marks are covered by the tier above and the pinholes held up to cleaning and are stable. Please see the photos after the label shot. The yellow tends to photo with some shadow and in person the colour is even better

Bust: to 15-18" flat across from side seam to side seam
Waist: to 12.5" flat across from side seam to side seam

I have had the twin of this dress in blue in the shop before and a version of this dress was shown on the runway in a printed chiffon. These fabulous jersey ones are what were produced for the shops in addition to the printed chiffon ones. This collection was shown in Marrakech and Vogue's Sally Singer said the collection was "about luxury, globalism, and culture". The dress I have here is simpler then its runway counterpart but that just makes it that much more wearable to that many more events. I absolutely love this dress even more this second time around. It is gorgeous.

The dress is a made out of an inky black jersey that falls like a dream. It is heavy enough to feel like a high quality piece but still will move and flow as you walk and move. The front plunges into a low V just slightly crossing over itself where it meets the band of fabric at the waist. The tops of the triangle that cover the bust are twisted for detailing and then they fall into a deep V at the back. This leaves you bare on both the front and the back. There is a little jersey cord that runs across the back to hold the halter perfectly in place. The skirt falls to the floor at the front and there is a tremendous amount of fabric in the skirt. At the back the shoulders extend out to a caped panel of the same jersey. This also falls to the floor and is one long fabulous swath of jersey. At the sides the cape is curve back into itself and attached down the sides so that it is a part of the dress and not a separate piece. It catches the air and billows out around you as you walk. The effect this has once on and when you move is fantastic. It is fabulous on the body. It appears to have been worn very little if at all. Excellent condition

The jersey serves as the lining and it slips on to wear with an inner elastic at the waist. The elastic is what gives it its shape. If you needed more room or ease through the waist it would be very easy to extend it so that someone with a larger frame could wear it since the rest if the dress is really loose and easy.

It was a favorite of the street style crowd and it is a gorgeous little creation. I believe that I read at the time these were all hand knit.

The dress is easy to wear and makes a huge visual impact that I love. It is made of a knit virgin wool that is light and feels fantastic once on the body. I love the horizontal stripes of colour that were meant to depict desert sunsets. The weave is loose and open so that you will see either your bare skin underneath or whatever you decide to wear underneath it. It is cut to skim over the body. The neckline is a wide boat neck and then it travels down over the bust, waist and hips, opening up to be quite flared as it reaches the hem. You can see in the reference video that this flare allows the dress to kick out around you when you move. The sleeves are cut to just above the elbow and they are finished with hand knotted yarn tassels in black. These circle the cuffs for pretty detail. These same hand-tied tassels are also set all the way around the hem for added movement there as well. It is just gorgeous. It appears to have been worn very little if at all. Excellent condition

Unlined and slips over the head to wear with no closures. It looks to have been worn very little if at all. Tagged a US4, GB8, FR36, IT40. The knit has considerable stretch. I have put the comfortable range of measurements lying flat and there may be a little bit of room beyond that once on the actual body

Sleeves: approx 15" and are 7-13" around the upper arm and is 12-14" around the cuff above the 2" fringes
