No matter how good you think that this dress looks in the photos it is even better in person, on the body and moving.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe dress is made out of a hammered black silk that has a beautiful texture woven through the silk. I love how that the added texture it has catches the light as you move and adds an extra layer of visual interest to the dress.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe dress is cut completely on the bias so it just glides over you. It is made to perfectly fall in a sweep of bias cut fabric.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt skims over the bust with a draped front that falls in a soft fold. Wide straps curve up and over the shoulders and then extend down into the back.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe back is truly incredible. It is scooped down into a very low open soft V that leaves most of your back bare.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAt the base of the scoop it crosses over itself and has a bit of the same drape that you see at the front. It is so well-made that I think that you could wear it turned around back to front with the V at the front depending on how it worked on your body and how daring you wish to be.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe dress skims over the waist with a bit of a more generous feel. It curves past the hips and the bias cut of the silk lets it follows your curves and highlights the body underneath without it being too tight and fitted. Galliano is a genius when it came to this cut.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnce past the hips the dress flares out as it nears the bottom hem so that it has beautiful movement when you move.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne perfect angled seam runs down the front of a skirt for subtle detail and the very bottom of the lower skirt flares out slightly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA row of tightly spaced black silk covered buttons and loops run down one side to finish it with his signature button detail.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe dress is fully lined in a fine black silk and closes at the side with the buttons. It is cut on the bias so the measurements given below are the comfortable range when the dress is laying flat. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTagged a vintage Dior FR42, GB14, US10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent condition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eBust: 17-22\" flat across from side seam to side seam\u003cbr\u003eWaist: 14.5-17\" flat across from side seam to side seam\u003cbr\u003eHips: 18-21.5\" flat across from side seam to side seam\u003cbr\u003eTotal length: 63\" from top of shoulder to hem\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eModern Sizing Equivalent: SML-LRG\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eItem# DD5773\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAll items are thoroughly checked over before shipping.
