This was to be a brisk albeit slightly perfunctory trot around the circuit of Galliano's longtime favourite 18th century.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn the book \u003cem\u003eDior:Catwalk\u003c\/em\u003e they noted that Galliano had baptized the collection \u003cem\u003e\"The Seduction of the Libertine\".\u003c\/em\u003e The collection notes read \"\u003cem\u003eRiding 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.\"\u003c\/em\u003e said Galliano.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe bodice skims to a slightly more generously cut waist. If you wanted to add shape you can cinch it in further by belting it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAt the back it dips low to leave a bare expanse of skin to show.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe 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. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis is an incredible and rare documented runway piece.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTagged a Dior FR36, GB8 IT40, US4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent condition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eBust: the front bust has open sides and is cut quite generously to fit a variety of bust sizes and shapes.
