Description
History of the Model: The Christian Dior house, since its founding in 1946, has always combined couture tradition and innovation in shapes. This dress recalls the creations of the 60s and 70s, a time when Dior introduced younger and more accessible lines via its ready-to-wear collections. This type of belted shirt dress, with a deceptively demure look, echoes the trends of this period while retaining the codes of the house: precision of detail, accuracy of proportions and assertive femininity.
Exterior Details: Sky blue cotton, fresh and bright, makes up the entire dress. The classic shirt collar provides a clear structure to the neckline, while the central buttonhole is highlighted by a band of openwork lace. The top of the bust is decorated with three horizontal braids in English embroidery, integrated into sewn pleats. The full skirt features wide gathers from the waist, for a flared and airy silhouette. The identical fabric belt allows the garment to be adjusted according to preference.
Interior Details: The dress is not lined, in accordance with the standards of light cotton summer pieces. The interior finishes are neat with braided seams, ensuring strength and comfort when worn. The absence of lining accentuates the fluidity of the fabric while guaranteeing good breathability.
Product Condition: The dress is in very good condition. There are no visible stains or tears to report. The lace braids are clean, the buttons well fixed, and the seams intact. The cotton has retained its luster and does not show any notable signs of fading.
Care Instructions: Hand or machine wash cold, delicate program, is recommended to preserve the fineness of the embroidery. It is best to dry the dress flat or on a hanger, away from direct sunlight. Gentle ironing on the reverse side recommended to avoid any alteration of the braids.
Why Choose this Product: This vintage Christian Dior dress combines comfort, elegance and finesse in a timeless design. Ideal for summer days or casual occasions, it maintains the couture heritage of the house while adapting to everyday use. Its rarity, its pastel shade and its delicate finishes make it a sought-after piece by lovers of quality vintage clothing.
