• This is a very pretty dress from the Spring 2011 Dior collection
• It was made under the creative direction of John Galliano
• I believe that this dress has been slightly altered in some way through the top. Some of the stitching and how it is attached to the strap on the one side are definitely not original. It works the way it is so I have left it. But I do feel like it gives you a bit of leeway in having it re-set to how it will work on you if you wished to make changes.
• The dress is made out of a purple silk chiffon that is layered over an inner attached purple slip that makes it opaque enough to wear
• The bodice has two panels of chiffon that are draped upwards and over the one shoulder. At the back the main panel extends into a little flat bow and the panel that sweeps underneath that one is attached along the strap of the inner dress. 
• The waist is seamed and the bodice blouses over it. The dress came with a pink and purple silk tie belt that is made of two separate cords tied together. Each cord has these gorgeous little handmade silk flowers in red and pink attached at their ends for a total of four flowers. This tie belt allows you to cinch in the waist as much as you wish.
• The skirt skims over the hips from under the seam at the waist and then flows beautifully to the floor. The lightness of the silk chiffon allows it to move around you when you move and the entire dress is light and easy to wear.
• I love how the arm opening on the one side dips a little lower. This adds to the overall Grecian feel that the dress has.
• The dress is fully lined in an inner purple silk and it closes with a combination of silk covered buttons and a series of snaps. I feel like the bodice has been altered at some point as mentioned above and it has been priced accordingly.

• This dress is from Fall 2008 collection and is a piece that would have been produced for the shops.
• It was made under the creative direction of John Galliano.
• The Collection celebrated the 1960s with Simon & Garfunkel's 'Mrs. Robinson' for the opening music. The models were styled with a nod to the 1960s but in a highly exaggerated way.
• Galliano said of the show "I am always looking for heroines who make me dream"
• The dress is made from a muted silver coloured silk. The silk is a beautiful weight and is just heavy enough to keep the shape that he wanted without it feeling too heavy.
• Straps extend outward from the middle of the front and curve over each side of your neck and then are angled back down to connect in the centre of the back.
• The bust is peaked and shaped. Inside it has a bit of a slightly stiffened lining to help hold the shape and mold it over the breasts. The fabric is softly pleated to angle in towards the centre where part of the silk extends out and is twisted to form a pretty 3D flower.
• From under the seam of the bust it falls over the body with a more generous feel. The silk is gathered in and pleated on one side and it does the same on that same side around the back. It has a more generous cut over the waist and hips. The bottom skirt widens out as it near the hem.
• The fabric at the hip on the opposite side of the pleating has been gathered and twisted to form too large flowers. These are a pretty extra detail and tie in the flower at the bust. They also are a clever way for him to have controlled the draping and the way the dress sits over and around you.
• The bit of flare on the lower skirt creates a pretty bit of movement around you when you move.
• The dress is fully lined in the same silver silk and closes with a hidden set side zipper. I see a couple of small faint marks underneath the bust area near the pleats. Please see the photo after the label shot. It does not detract from its wearability but is mentioned for accuracy.

• The dress is from the Spring 2008 collection.
• It was made under the creative direction of John Galliano.
• 2008 was John's 10th year at Dior and it was also the Dior label's 60th anniversary. To celebrated John created pieces for Spring 2008 based on some of his signature looks from the past decade.
• Finding a Dior dress in this colour and in the perfect condition that this dress is in is rare and I am very happy to have such an exquisite example of his work in the shop.
• The dress is made out of a ivory white silk chiffon that has hand embroidery added.
• When you stand still you get a beautiful long silhouette but the second you move the chiffon in the skirt and the back panels are picked up by the air and the dress becomes even more extraordinary.
• The skirt of the dress is made from bias cut ivory silk chiffon that sits over an inner silk lining. It is set around the waist and heavily gathered at one side to create the extra panel and volume on the one side. A small slit runs up from the hem on that side so you get a little bit of leg when you walk. The other side curves down to fall slightly longer and create a beautiful curved shape at the hem.
• The bodice is strapless and the neckline slightly curved at the front. Inside there is a built in boned and cupped corset that extends down to the waist. The chiffon over the bodice has been draped and gathered over to the side to tie in with the skirt. At the back, on that same side, there are two very long panels of silk chiffon. You can allow them to just drape down and behind you to catch the air and move as you walk or you can take one and drop it over the shoulder to get a more caped feel. I have photoed it both ways for you to see. 
• His signature row of silk covered buttons runs down the other side and then the last perfect detail is the extraordinary flowers that are embroidered over the dress.
• The flowers are what take the dress to its magical level of beauty. Soft pastel flowers are heavily embroidered onto the dress by hand so that they have a slight 3D effect. Little gold threads are mixed in between then along with tiny sequins and beads to catch the light. They are reminiscent of the flowers that Mr. Dior often used in his early work.
• It is a magical nod to the archives that perfectly combines past and present.
• Fully lined in an ivory silk. It has a full built in boned and cupped corset. The corset closes with a series of lingerie hooks and the dress buttons to close over that at the side.

• This is a pretty little Dior that is one that would have been made for the shops.
• The dress is made from a black silk net that has an intricate pattern laid over it that combines black silk ribbon, black cording and embroidery work.
• The bodice is strapless and has inner boning so that it hugs the body and stays in place.
• Ribbon and cording wrap horizontally around the top of the bodice and then under that are panels of lattice mixed with cross thatched netting and swirling bands of cording applied to it. All of the ribbon has been applied by hand and you can see all of the tiny stitches that have been done.
• The waist nips in and there is another silk and cord band to add definition. The skirt flares out from under that.
• The skirt is a little masterpiece in itself. It is very full and short and the netting gives it a touch of transparency over the inner silk chiffon lining. Long vertical bands of silk are combined the same lattice pattern from the bodice and then there is additional embroidery work over top of that. 
• Embroidered flowers are placed all around the bottom of the skirt for the perfect extra touch. We shot it without any extra underskirts but there is enough fabric that you could probably add a light crinoline if you really wanted more fullness. There is already an extra layer of tulle over the silk chiffon inner skirt that helps hold the volume. These multiple layers give the dress structure so that it holds the shape around you once on. 
• It appears to have been worn very little if at all. Fully lined in a combination of black silk and silk net. It closes with a hidden back side zipper. Lightly boned through the bodice with two inner stays under the bust and another at the waist that all hook to close. Hand finishes. It appears to have been worn very little if at all.

• The twin of this skirt walked the runway for the Fall 2019 season for Look 36.
• It was made under the creative direction of Maria Grazia Chiuri
• Vogue's Sally Singer noted that; "Chiuri sought inspiration for this collection from Britain’s postwar Teddy Girls, those working-class, rock ’n’ roll–loving beehived vixens who hit the clubs in a mix of men’s Edwardian jackets, full skirts, blue jeans, leather, velvet, and eyeliner galore. She was struck by the similarity in silhouette and the optimistic excess that characterized Christian Dior’s designs of the same period. She was also moved by Yves Saint Laurent’s addition to the Dior pantheon of a men’s black leather jacket for women in the late 1950s. So, heritage, hipsters, and herstory."
• This skirt is one of the ones that felt most like a heritage piece from that show while still having a modern flare.
• The skirt is made out of a black silk net and the fabric choice is what allows it to hold its fullness.
• Onto the tulle is an extensive pattern created from hand applied beads and sequins. A thin band at the waist cinches it in and then the skirt is full under that. It will fall to about mid-calf to the ankle depending on your height.
• At the front the skirt is fully split and open from just under the band at the waist to the hem. It wraps over itself a touch at the split and there is a little flat bow at the waist for added detail.
• This open split lets you can layer it over just about anything. You can take a simplest little dress or plain skirt that you already have, pop this over it, and all of a sudden you have an amazing and elaborate look.
• The entire skirt has been appliqued with little floral sprigs that are made of hand set metal coils, tiny seed beads, sequins and MOP finished paillettes. All of the work appears to have been done by hand.
• It is made out of two layers of the black netting and meant to have a slight transparency. It closes with snap and hook an eye at the waist and is open down the front. It looks to have never been worn or worn very little. It is a very little special piece that has a huge array of styling options.
