Size 10 Christian Dior Dress - Sumptuous Chocolate & Aubergine Pleated Silk Satin Brocade - 1960s Designer Sheath and Belt - Bust 36 -

Exquisite in every way, this 60s Dior dress is a gorgeous design from Bonwit Teller. It has a fitted yoke and long cuffed sleeves, with graceful knife-pleats from bust to hem. The silhouette fits and feels like a silken sheath, held invisibly at the waist with a petersham waistband to the interior (while the exterior is an "waterfall" of pleats that looks uninterrupted). Original tie belt included; meticulously finished by hand.
