Description: This is a vintage 1950s Christian Dior New York Original dress made of black silk. It was an ex-museum piece that was acquired by an unknown museum in 1969; the acquisition tag is still attached to the collar. I came across it during a trip to Hollywood. Please contact me for other shipping options, courier, insurance etc.The flared and slightly pleated skirt sits slightly below the knee, with a fitted waist, full zip up the back, and bow details at the bust. There is no boning or support in the bodice. Please be aware that this dress is quite small; it has a bust of 32.5" and a waist of 24.5".Size Marked: UnmarkedApproximate Size: XXSFabric: Unmarked, SilkLining Type: UnlinedClosure: Metal ZipLabel: Christian Dior - New YorkEra: 1950sCondition Details: Good - The outside of the dress is in great condition. The silk is lustrous. The fabric strips lining the inside the skirt are shattering from age. The original lining should be left intact if purchasing for a collection, but should be replaced if you are purchasing it to wear. I leave this decision to the new owner. A petticoat would be nice to put under the fullness of the skirt. Please contact me if you would like more images. This dress presents beautifully!
