DESCRIPTION
2016 Christian Dior Haute Couture Monochrome Long Sleeve Maxi Dress
This documented Christian Dior haute couture gown was made to order in the exact design shown on the Fall 2016 runway. According to the Vogue review, this collection was meant to emphasise the work of the Dior ateliers, showcasing the dressmaking skills of these 70 year old workshops. The dress has a retro silhouette with an elegant raised collar and flared angel-sleeves. Tailored from a fluid silk-jersey with a tiny bit of stretch, it is painted all over with a blown-up monochrome paisley in black and cream. This artistic, painterly pattern gives a psychedelic effect reminiscent of 1960s and 1970s designs. It fastens at the back of the neck with glossy black stone buttons and fabric loops, alongside a hidden zip and hook-and-eyes. It is lined throughout with a semi-sheer black silk crepe. Modern haute couture rarely comes onto the resale market, and at Circa we specialise in sourcing these individually commissioned pieces. The dress is in excellent archival vintage condition and looks to have been barely worn. Due to being couture made, it has no size or composition labels so please check our measurements carefully. The fabric has a hint of stretch and we think it suitable for a UK 10 or US 4. MEASUREMENTSBUST - 36 in. (92 cm)WAIST - 32 in. (81 cm)HIP - 42 in. (107 cm)LENGTH - 57 in. (145 cm)
