• This dress dates to the 1970s.
• It was made under the creative direction of Marc Bohan.
• The dress is a wonderful example of the work being done during this part of Dior's history. It illustrates the outstanding level of craft and skill that was put into pieces from this era.
• I love how the dress has a touch of Old Hollywood in its cut. The closer you get to it the more you see the incredible and elaborate amount of detail that has been put into the fabric.
• The dress is made from a black silk net with a floral pattern worked throughout. The flowers are edged in black silk cord and then it has been hand beaded with an elaborate pattern of bead work that follows the design.
• Under the top beaded layer of net is a black silk chiffon layer and then there is a final nude silk chiffon inner layer backed in a black silk. Adding that nude innermost layer gives the wearer the illusion of wearing nothing underneath.
• The dress is suspended from two beaded straps that curve over each shoulder. The front neckline dips into a slight V and the back is a simple scoop.
• It is cut to skim over the body from bust to hips with no seaming at the waist to break the eye or the design created by the bead work. All of the seams are set vertically on the inner layers and then the top layer has been specifically cut and shaped to follow the curves.
• It curves out over the hips and then falls to the floor widening out a touch as it nears the hem.
• The elaborate design that covers the entire dress is done with a combination of glossy black beads in various sized mixed with black sequins. The design is heavier around the top the bodice, lightens in coverage as it goes over the hips, and then becomes dense and heavy again at the hem.
• The sequins have been applied so that they are stacked and layered over each other to give a slight 3D feel. Small faceted beads follow other parts of the pattern and the same beads are place by hand over the straps. Tiny little seed beads are in the mix along with square pailettes and oval faceted beads on a much larger scale.
• The beads are all applied by hand and catch the light from every angle as you move. It is incredible to see this dress in person and the level of detail that it has.
• The label on the dress is numbered and when you see that in a Dior Boutique label during this period it most often meant that the piece was a special order or was a custom made order for a client in the atelier but fitted at the boutique rather then the Paris atelier.
• The dress is fully lined as described above. It closes with a hidden set side zipper and the tag is numbered. The slight bias cut will allow for a bit of movement in the measurements and I have put to the maximum below.
• There is no size tag present. Please go by the measurements list below.
• Excellent condition.

• This dress is from the Fall 1970 Haute Couture collection.
• It was made under the creative direction of Marc Bohan.
• The book Dior:Catwalk noted that Vogue proclaimed that season that "Any woman anywhere on earth would want to own these total feminine clothes".
• In the few photos that survive of pieces from this collection, it is interesting to note that he showed most of these long full length shift dresses under capes. A combination that would still work now if you wished.
• The dress would have been made entirely by hand in the Paris atelier. 
• It is made out of a jet black silk velvet that is extremely soft to the touch and has beautiful drape. This is the highest possible quality velvet. 
• The silhouette is simple and I love the nod to classic minimalism that the dress has. At the same time don't let it simplicity fool you. It is masterfully tailored.
• Black velvet straps that are a touch on the wider side curve up and over your shoulders. The front and back neckline have a gentle bit of a scoop. Just enough to take away the harshness a straight line would have.
• It skims over the bust and is cut more generously over the waist so that it falls in a perfect shift or column feel around you. If you wanted to add more shape you could easily add a belt or a fabric sash.
• It curves slightly out over the hips and then the skirt falls from there widening out a touch as it nears the hem. 
• The dress closes down one side with glossy black buttons and I love the deliberate contrast in texture that it has against the black velvet. That pop of gloss from the buttons is the perfect subtle detail against the inky texture of the velvet.
• The buttons close the dress down one side to just past the hip and then the rest of that seam is completely open all the way to the hem. This gives a flash of bare leg all the way up that one side when you move. It is almost startling to have that flash of bare skin against the column of black and I love this play between elegance and sexiness.
• It is a dress that appears to be so simple in shape but every seam and line of the dress was purposefully and masterfully executed.
• This is an extraordinary example of his couture work during this era and it is an absolutely stunning dress.
• The dress is fully lined in a matching hand set black silk and closes at the side with the row of buttons. All of the work is done by hand to Couture standards. The appropriately dated couture tag is present. It appears to have been worn very little at all.
• There is no size tag present because it is Couture. Please go by the measurements listed below.

• This dress is the Ready-to-Wear version of the Haute Couture Dior dress that walked the Fall 2021 show for Look 32.
• It was made under the creative direction of Maria Grazia Chiuri.
• You can see the striking similarities to it from the similar metallic net fabric to the cut of the dress.
• This version was produced for the shops in limited quantities and only sold at the main Dior shops. 
• It is truly a beautiful piece and it might even make an amazing wedding dress for the bride looking for a non-traditional choice or as an alternative dress in a more extended wedding celebration. And of course it could also be worn to any event.
• The fabric on this dress is very unusual. A fine metallic gold thread is done in a grid cut out that creates a thatched pattern over the entire dress. This sits over a layer of a pale nude silk netting and then both of those sit over the inner layers of silk tulle and silk on the bodice. The top layer almost feels like the gold has been applied onto the underlying fabric. I have never seen a fabric like it.
• The skirt has multiple layers of tulle underneath the top metallic layer with an inner silk lining under them all. There is so much skirt fabric in the skirt and I did not use any extras under-skirts in the photos. All of the volume that you see is created by all of the existing layers of tulle and silk. If you wanted the skirt to be even fuller you could add something underneath and turn it into a fairy-tale cupcake dress.
• The bodice is meant to be fitted and the fabric is wrapped and gathered all the way around you. Inside there are padded cups that create a sweetheart neckline and light boning to hold the dress in place and give you support.
• Little half sleeves leave the shoulders bare and they wrap around your upper arms for a pretty feminine detail. Please refer to the runway reference folder to give you an idea of how this will look like once on. It is almost impossible to photo properly on a dress form with no arms.
• The waist is cinched and then the skirt poufs out below that to create all that gorgeous volume that you see.
• The dress is fully lined in silk and constructed as described above. It closes with a back hidden set zipper and an inner waist stay hooks to close. The front cups are padded and there is light boning in the inner bodice. Hand finishes. The colour is slightly more metallic in person. It looks to have been worn very little at all.

• EightThis two piece set dates in and around to the Fall 1987 Christian Dior collection.
• It was made under the creative direction of Marc Bohan.
• When researching we found very similar bead work used on a piece from the Fall 1987 Haute Couture collection. The date for this set is based on that bead work and that pieces often trickled down into ready-to-wear collections with similar details.
• At first glance it looks like this is a full dress but it is actually two pieces. The top is a shaped and boned strapless corset and it has a matching textured silk black skirt. I love the versatility that having the two separate pieces gives you.
• The skirt made out of a black heavily textured silk with built-in under skirts for added volume in shape and the corset is made out of of a deep yellow silk with hand beading.
• The bodice is strapless and is meant to be more fitted with a true corset feel. Inside it is cupped and has extensive inner boning so that it sits perfectly in place around you.
• I love how it is shaped over the body to emphasize the bust and then it nips in the waist. The deep curve at the top of the neck line and the way that long tassel hangs down the front is all done to draw the eye in and add to the illusion of a smaller waist. Under the waist it curves out over the top of the hips.
• The skirt is its own separate piece. The waist is banded and then the silk expands outwards from there. It is very full by the time it reaches the bottom hem. This gives it a soft and easy movement around you as you move. 
• The skirt is made out of a layer of highly textured black silk and then underneath that is a layer of a black net with stiffening built in around he inner hem. An innermost silk lining sits between that middle layer and your skin. Floating the layers over each other in this manner helps it to retain volume and shape around you.
• The perfect finishing touch is the extensive silk cord, hand cut velvet applique and hand beading done on the corset. The pattern follows the exaggerated peak on the front bodice and then wraps all the way around you to hook into place. Strands of various size beads have been hand strung and placed all the way around the top edge. They are glossy black faceted beads and are in a variety of shapes and sizes.
• It is just outstanding in person and beautifully constructed.
• The skirt is lined in a black net and black silk as described above. The corset is lined in a matching yellow silk and has hidden interior light boning. It closes with a row of lingerie hooks at the back and the skirt buttons to close at the waist with a zipper under that. I see a tiny mark on the front bodice which is hidden under the dangling beads over it for the most part. There is.a small repair/flaw along the very edge at the bottom. There is a tiny bit of grubbiness here and there on the corset on the inside and the outside. Please see the photos after the label shot.
• There is no size tag present. Please go by the measurements below.
• Excellent condition

Bust: to 16.5" flat across from side seam to side seam

• The twin of this incredible dress walked the runway for Look 31 for the Fall 2010 collection.
• It was made under the creative direction of John Galliano.
• Vogue's review stated that Galliano's Fall ready-to-wear for Dior was "Equestrian-themed, a follow-on from the daywear strand of the acclaimed Couture show in January. This was to be a brisk albeit slightly perfunctory trot around the circuit of Galliano's longtime favourite 18th century."
• In the book Dior:Catwalk they noted that Galliano had baptized the collection "The Seduction of the Libertine". The collection notes read "Riding in from the hunt that began at the Haute Couture, Dior discovers intrigue and inspiration in gallant riding habits as it goes from the stables to the seductive style and verse of those infamous romantics, the 18th century Libertines"... "This season Dior takes up the heroic spirit of the French romanticism." said Galliano.
• This dress is completely cut on the bias and this gives it incredible curves once it is on an actual body. It almost feels like you are wearing nothing because of the soft sand colour and the lightness of the silk chiffon.
• The bodice crosses over itself and there is a silk chiffon ruffle that follows the neckline. This wraps around you and buttons behind the neck. Panels extend out from the top that are cut wide and edged in a ruffle. By tying those around the front of the neck you get that beautiful ruffle falling down the front as seen here and on the runway.
• The bodice skims to a slightly more generously cut waist. If you wanted to add shape you can cinch it in further by belting it.
• At the back it dips low to leave a bare expanse of skin to show.
• The top layer of the skirt wraps over itself as it attaches in around the waist and there is a substantial amount of silk used for the skirt to give it its extensive draping. Under that is a second inner silk layer in the same colour. A slit runs up the side of the inner layer so when you walk you see bare leg. 
• The entire bottom of the skirt has round cut outs in various sizes that circle all the way around the lower skirt. Each of the cut outs are finished with a heavily applied embroidered edge done in a matching coloured thread. This gives the bottom of the dress extraordinary texture and detail.
• This is an incredible and rare documented runway piece.
• The dress is fully lined in a second layer of the same silk chiffon. A row of his signature matching silk covered buttons and loops runs down the side to close the dress. It appears to have been worn very little if at all.
• Tagged a Dior FR36, GB8 IT40, US4
• Excellent condition

Bust: the front bust has open sides and is cut quite generously to fit a variety of bust sizes and shapes. The under-bust area where the sides begin is cut on the bias and can range from 16-19.5" flat across from side seam to side seam.
Waist: to 14" flat across from side seam to side seam
Inner hips: 20-23" flat across from side seam to side seam
Bodice: approx 17-18" from neck to waist but meant to blouse over a touch
Total length: approx 70" from neck to hem

• The twin of this jacket walked the Spring 1977 Yves Saint Laurent runway.
• It was made under the creative direction of Yves Saint Laurent
• In the book on Yves Saint Laurent's work "Catwalk" the note for the couture counter part collection states that American Vogue wrote "Saint Laurent, the totally romantic view of woman and clothes" while French Vogue raved about the multicultural inspiration of the collection. That same spirit carried over to the ready-to-wear collection.
• While we researching we found a black-and-white photo of its twin from the runway and one tiny partial shot of it in colour as it walked back down. We have included that partial shot as well just so you can see the reference of how it was styled on the runway colour wise.
• The jacket is made out of a what feels like a fine cotton that has a bit heavier weight so it almost has a light canvas feel to it. The choice of this fabric helps hold it shape beautifully.
• The shoulders are soft, and the sleeves are wide and cut straight all the way to the cuff.
• The neckline curves around the neck coming with a slight notch at the very front. Six round deep blue buttons run down the front.
• The body of the jacket has an almost swing cut feel to it and this is where the fabric choice really comes into play to help hold the intended shape around the body.
• Two large top set pockets are set on the front and each one has a inch wide, raiding detail in white red and blue. That same braiding detail runs around the neck down the front and then circles to hem. More braiding loops around where the sleeves insert into the body of the jacket and each cuff is finished with it as well.
• The added texture and bright pop of colour that this braiding works is just phenomenal.
• It is an instant instantly recognizable YSL jacket that is easy to wear and is an easy way to add some vintage into your wardrobe.
• The jacket is unlined and close at the front with the buttons. Each pocket on the front is fully functional. It's generous cut should allow it to fit a range of sizes and it will just feel more oversized on smaller frames.

• The jacket is closest to the Haute Couture Spring 1971 Yves Saint Laurent reference that we found.
• It was made under the creative direction of Yves Saint Laurent.
• The near couture twin of the jacket is seen in the book "Saint Laurent Rive Gauche: Fashion Revolution" along with several other references from 1971.
• It is quite obviously the influencer of the famous 1996 Gucci set worn by Gwyneth Paltrow to the VMAs. He did several renditions of this jacket prior to that homage and besides the 1971 example that appeared in Vogue with a stronger contrasting trim than this one, I have also included examples from 1974 on Charlotte Rampling, Fall 1979 and Fall 1989. Designers after YSL have also done renditions of this that I am sure you are familiar with.
• It is so interesting to see the progression of the jacket and having one of the earlier originals is fantastic.
• You can clearly see it's closeness to the Couture 1971 version. That version had a strong contrasting trim and buttons. On this version, the contrast is still there but in a more subtle way.
• The jacket is made out of a deep midnight blue velvet with black trim.
• The shoulders are soft and the arms are cut fairly straight all the way down before narrowing in slightly to the cuff.
• The colour has a notched cut that is not quite as exaggerated as the Couture version was. Under that it wraps over itself slightly with a double row of buttons to close.
• The body of the jacket has an almost box cut. It's cut very much with a strong nod to a man's jacket and how the proportions are. It's just fantastic.
• There are three pockets on the front. A slit pocket at one breast and two pockets on each hip. Each pocket has a black trim on their top edge and the ones at the hip are set to have a slight slouch feel to them.
• The collar front of the jacket, and around the hem and cuffs are all edged in the same black trim that you see on the top of each pocket
• It is a phenomenal jacket that is easy to wear and is an easy way to add some vintage into your wardrobe.
• The jacket is fully lined in a black silky rayon and close at the front with the six buttons that you see and a seventh button inside to hold the jacket properly in place. All three pockets are functional. The cut is more box, loosen easy, and should work on a variety of frames. On a smaller frame it will just feel more oversized.

• This dress is from the Fall 1979 Haute Couture Yves Saint Laurent collection.
• It was made under the creative direction Yves Saint Laurent.
• The 1979 collection was an a homage to Picasso and Diaghilev. Yves had been to an exhibit on Picasso costume and set designs for Diaghilev's ballet Russes. At the time he told French Vogue that he had been on a different path entirely for the collection but then he saw the exhibition and "my collection took on the structure of a ballet. I embroidered on Picasso, on a slightly soft cubism, on harlequin, the Blue Period, the Pink. It's best when in inspiration comes! You no longer have any doubt, you get on with it, you feel an immense joy!"
• You can see that inspiration of the harlequin especially on the pattern of this dress. We found several runway examples where he used the same pattern and added those here. This pattern was a significant part of the collection.
• I snapped the sketch that is closest to this piece from my YSL folio that contains all the drawings from the collection and some shots to show that he used this particular print in several colours including the blue of this dress. 
• The dress would have been made completely by hand in the Paris atelier.
• It is made out of a beautiful silk that is scarf weight so is very light and easy to wear. It has a secondary pattern within the weave in the same blue and then it is printed with that black design leaving the blue to show between. 
• The collar is neat and done in the same silk. The silk of the bodice is gathered in around it for a added detailing and it closes at the back of the neck above a small keyhole. 
• The shoulders are soft and the top of each sleeve gathers into the shoulder. They narrow down to cuffed wrists that ends in a ruffle made of the same silk.
• The cut through the body is loose and easy and it has the slightest bit of narrowing inwards as it nears the hem. 
• The more generous cut through the body makes it easy to wear. You have the option of wearing it loose or adding a belt to cinch it in and add shape around the waist. I photoed it both of those ways with an added black rope belt. 
• The perfect finishing touch are the little slits on either side of the skirt. These allow for movement when you move and gives you ease of walking plus a little bit of extra leg to show.
• This is a superb piece of Couture and is an early example of his work.
• The dress is unlined and slips over the head to wear with a single button at the back of the neck above a keyhole. Each cuff buttons to close. It is entirely made by hand. The belt is not original to the dress but will be included. The appropriate Haute Couture label is present.
• There is no size tag present because it is true Couture. Please go by the measurements listed below.
• Excellent condition

Sleeves: 23.5" and they are 15" around the upper arm. The neck is 13" around. The cuffs are 6" around where the button is presently but could be opened and the button moved to get 7".
