• This spectacular dress is a very rare piece from the Spring 1999 collection.
• It was made under the creative direction of John Galliano
• For this show the Dior Catwalk book noted that "Galliano took a trip on the Trans-Siberian railway and drew inspiration from Russian avant-garde as well as the Chinese red army."
• A shorter version of this dress was shown in the presentation and then a long all silk version without the lace inset at the front was presented. We have included both so you can see how this will fit on the body.
• This is one of his signature bias cut dresses and it is absolutely stunning.
• The dress falls from two straps that curve up and over the shoulders. The front falls in a soft curving drape and then the back is scooped low to leave your upper back bare. The draped front is a clever way to add shape while still keeping the entire dress soft and with little formal structure.
• Behind the draped silk of the bust is a second halter cut bodice made out of black lace. As the front drapes down this lace peeks out from behind it.
• Set just underneath the bust is an angled ribbon of lace that is just over an inch and a half wide. This angles up towards the centre of the bust and then runs around the back.
• Another panel of lace highlights the seam that the lower skirt is set into and then the entire hem is finished with the same lace. I love how the placement of lace is done to highlight your shape.
• None of the lace used has any backing so that once this is on the body you get a glimpse of skin through all of the lace parts of the dress. It is brilliant. 
• The rest of the dress is made out of beautiful textured hammered black silk. The silk is a heavier weighted silk and it is completely cut on the bias. When you put it on it simply drapes over you and highlights every curve without ever being too tight anywhere.
• It skims over the bust, waist and hips and then comes in slightly to where the bottom lace inset is done. The lower skirt flares out substantially under that and there are yards of fabric in that part of the dress alone. This gives you incredible movement when you walk and finishes the dress beautifully. This flowing hourglass shape was a Galliano signature and this one is absolutely spectacular.
• The inner lining under the lower skirt is finished with yet another panel of black lace, and this peaks out from underneath the skirt. Perfectly tying everything together.
• The dress is an exceptional example from his very early days at Dior. A true piece of fashion history.
  
• The lace serves as the lining behind the draped front and then the rest of the dress is lined in a black silk except for behind the lace parts which are left unlined. It closes with hidden set side zipper. It is completely cut on the bias so there is a lot of movement and range to the fabric. It is an easy fit and the bias cut should allow it to fit a range of sizes I have put the range when laying flat in the measurements below. On a smaller frame it will drape more. I see a small scuff on the fabric here and there. Very minor and just mentioned for accuracy.

• This is an incredible white, all silk chiffon, version of Look 16 from the Dior Cruise 2010 collection.
• It was made under the creative direction of John Galliano.
• The dress is made out of a soft ivory silk chiffon that is feather light in weight and moves beautifully. 
• The chiffon has been gathered horizontally around the bust and inside the bodice there is built-in inner support. This part of the dress is opaque. 
• A wide panel of chiffon is angled over to one side so that it can be draped down and over the shoulder or gathered up on top of the shoulder. I love the versatility of this because it allows you to put it how it suits you best. I think if you wanted a strapless look, you could also have it hang around and down one hip instead.
• On the other side opposite to that shoulder you have an expanse of bare ski showing. On that same side, you have the appearance of the chiffon panel being knotted into place with the ends, falling for pretty added detail.
• The skirt falls from underneath the bust in two stacked layers of silk chiffon. Even with the two layers of silk, the skirt has transparency to it, which gives you the flexibility of wearing different options underneath to be as bare or covered as you wish.
• I love how the back of the skirt curves around to trail out behind you. The double layer of chiffon and the added fabric there allow it to billow out around you as you move and walk.
• It is extraordinarily beautiful and a gorgeous piece of Galliano for Dior.
• The bodice area that you can see is more opaque is fully lined in a matching silk. The skirt is made of two stacked layers of chiffon, but does have some transparency as seen. The dress closes with a hidden set side zipper. I see one tiny nick in the fabric near the vertical edge of the skirt. Please see the photo after the label shot. It is otherwise appears to have been unworn.
• There was no size tag present, so please go by the measurements listed below.
• Excellent condition

Bust: to 17" flat across from side seam to side seam
Seam under the bust: 13.5" flat across from side seam to side seam

• This dress is from the Spring 2003 Dior collection.
• It was made under the creative direction of John Galliano.
• The twin of this dress was worn by Jennifer Aniston to accept her award at the 2003 Golden Globes. 
• This is a dress that was made for the shops on a limited basis. A version with no sequins or lace, was also made that season, but this one with the extra detailing was only produced for a very limited amount of shops or special order.
• The dress is made from a bias cut black silk that has a slight texture to it. This is mixed with a black lace and then the dress has additional sequin and bead detailing.
• The front curves over you and then dips low at the back. You can see in the try on photos that when this is on an actual body it dips lower down the back and on more of a curve. This leaves your entire upper back bare and exposed.
• Two straps extended out from the centre of the bodice and hook into place behind the neck. There is a heavy detailing of beads and sequins that follow the neckline of the dress and then scatter over and down the bodice. Both the straps are finished with a heavy detailing of beads and little black prong set black glass rhinestones. Where the straps attached at the front there is a panel of silk shaped to feel like the ends of a tie. This is made from one piece of silk that has been folded over onto itself and then cut into angles at its ends. It is heavily detailed with a beautiful scalloped pattern created by shiny black sequins and tiny little glass beads.
• The top blouses over the waist and then there is a wide 11" panel of gathered black lace that starts at the waist seam and curves over the top of the hips. The fabric has some stretch so that you can adjust where it sits on you. 
• The skirt falls to the floor in a beautiful line. It is cut to curve over your hips and then flares out dramatically for the lower portion of the skirt. A slit runs up the front centre for some leg to show and this combined with the flaring cut creates incredible movement as you move.
• It is a really exceptional dress and is extremely sexy once on the body. 
• The bodice is fully lined in a black silk chiffon and the skirt is unlined. It slips on to wear with no closures. In its original length. The bias cut and slight stretch of the fabric gives it some movement. I have given the comfortable range of the measurements while laying flat below. It appears to have worn very little if at all.

• The twin of this dress walked the runway for the Spring 2019 show for Look 86.
• It was made under the creative direction of Maria Grazia Chiuri.
• It was the second to last look on the runway and one of the best dresses shown. I think it may have been inspired by a dress that I have had in the shop - this Spring 1977 Jean Patou. When they show originally debuted I had shared this in my stories and now I have this modern Dior version for you. A true full circle moment.
• I think it was one of the most beautiful pieces in the entire show and it is absolute magical in person.
• The dress is made out of a light-weight silk that is covered in a gold metallic thread. The underlined silk has a bit of a pattern on it and then the gold has been applied over that.
• The gold metallic part is done in a leaf pattern that trails over the entire dress. The metallic gold catches the light from all angles and gives it this wonderful added extra texture. 
• As it near the hem the gold begins to soften and change into the solid silk. The entire dress had been softly pleated and the pleating adds yet another layer of texture to the dress.
• It is suspended from twisted straps that curve over the shoulder and cross over each other at the back. The front plunges into a V and the back is left bare underneath the crossed straps. I love the curving angle of the sides. 
• The waist nips in and then the skirt falls to the floor under that in a sweep of silk and gold thread. There is an incredible amount of fabric in the skirt. The fabric is feather light and so fine that when you stand still it falls in a column but moves around you with your slightest movement.
• No matter how great the photos look it is that much better in person. The fabric is stunning. It is a really beautiful dress.
• The dress is fully lined in a nude silk chiffon and closes with a hidden set back zipper. It appears to have been worn very little if at all. It is in it's original uncut length.

• This is a stunning off white suit from the Spring 2006 Dior collection 
• It was made under the creative direction of John Galliano
• The suit is made from an amazing textile. It is just slightly off of a true white and blends a viscose and cotton mix in a beautiful woven design. The parts that have a slight 3D feel and sit slightly off of the base have an almost raffia feeling finish to it. The parts that have this finish and are slightly raised off of the pattern have a different finish to them and catch the light beautifully. It is really extraordinary. The base fabric is light in weight but has enough structure to allow it to hold its intended shape perfectly.
• The collar is set to go fully across at the front and I love the little half bows that give the collar a notched appearance. These are created by a panel of fabric, extending from the part of the collar that goes around your neck looping through a proper button hole finished slit, and then the ends are tacked down by hand so they sit exactly perfect.. These also pick up on the bows used elsewhere on the jacket. 
• The shoulders are softly sloped and rounded and have light padding inside. The sleeves fall to just above the rest, depending on the length of your arms and they are cut on a like curve and have a touch of a flare at their ends. The jacket has three buttons down the front and the buttons are done in what looks to be a beautiful hand-carved mother of pearl with the Dior name engraved onto them. Two smaller versions act as decoration along each cuff of the sleeves.
• The body of the jacket is cut slightly boxy with shape brought in at the waist. Two curving pockets sit on each hip and these are finished much like the ones on the collar with a panel of fabric, extending down and then threw a proper button hole finish slit. The ends of the bows are not tact here so you get a bit of a more 3D feel. These are the second reference to bows that the suit has. At the small of the back the final bow detail is seen with a curved and shaped panel of fabric threaded through two button hole finished slits there. I love the fact that the slits were all of these little bows slip through are all properly finished in traditional tailoring methods.
• The skirt has a very pretty and full cut. It is more shaped around the upper hip and the slightly higher set waist. This gives you beautiful shape. Running along the top edge of the waist and then just under that are a double set of belt loops. This becomes both an added extra design detail and an additional point of interest if you decided to loop either one long belt or two separate belts through them. From the top of the waist it curves down to a low long hip seam and then the skirt flares out quite dramatically to the hem. It is all gathered in around the sea, and then there is an additional seam another few inches down from that that helps give it even more volume. The skirt will sit at about the knee depending on your height.
• Because of the beautiful soft white colour of the set this would make a gorgeous piece to work into a wedding weekend or perhaps even to wear for a courthouse wedding, luncheon or going away outfit.
• Both pieces are lined in an ivory silk and the silk of both pieces has the Dior name embossed throughout. The jacket buttons to closes with three buttons at the front and each cuff has two decorative buttons. The skirt closes with a hidden set back zipper. I see a little bit of marking on the inside back silk of the jacket but of course you do not see it once on. It otherwise appears to have been more very little if at all. The skirt still has its original Dior tag attached shut up.
• Both pieces are tagged at FR40, GB12, IT44, US8
