• Its twin walked the runway for Look 43 for the Cruise 2011 Dior show. 
  
• Made under the creative direction of John Galliano
• The show was shown in Shanghai that season and Galliano chose not to do very specific references to Shanghai. He said at the time that he was more trying to "capture the feeling of Paris in its heyday" which was what he said he felt happening in Shanghai at that time.
• This was an outstanding look in the show and was one in a series of the closing looks.
• The dress is made of a deep muted pink silk chiffon and has nod to the 1960s in its design.
• A layer of silk chiffon that is heavily detailed with hand, beading, sequins and prong set pink rhinestones floats over a inner more fitted silk interior. The neckline is scooped wide across and then the back dips into a shallow V.
• The sleeves are a single layer of the chiffon and flare out at their ends. They are detailed all the way down to match the bodice.
• The interior dress closes with a hidden side set zipper and then the silk top layer that floats over it snaps along the edge of the waist at the back. A little strap floats across to connect the two sides and there is a highly detailed bow that sits off side at the back topping a gathering f the silk in the skirt.
• Another highly detailed bow sits at the centre of the front waist and I love how these two bows give the dress such a feminine and romantic touch.
• The dress falls from there to the floor with a top layer of chiffon floating over an inner silk skirt. It widen out just a touch at the hem.
• The inner silk portion of the dress has its own lining of a matching silk.
• The pink is a slightly different shade in person than how it photoed
• There is no size tag present so please reference the measurements below. It is slim fitting through the hips.
• Excellent condition

• This exceptional dress is by Marc Bohan for Christian Dior and it is a wonderful example of his work during this time period.
• This best matches the work that he was doing from about 1969 to 1972 when he was doing these wonderful dresses. We found a similar one to this with variations on the print that this dress has and I have included it so that you can see how perfectly this will drape and fall on the body.
• It is a very easy and comfortable dress to wear
• The dress is made from a cotton that has a pretty floral print that covers the entire dress.
• The neckline is set high and detailed with a black cotton collar that extends down the front and buttons to about the waist area.
• Under that the bodice is meant to skim over you to fall loose and easy over the natural waist and then the skirt billows out from under that to the floor.
• The sleeves are set into the shoulder with slight gathers and they have a more full cut that balloons out over the wrists. At their ends they are edged with that same black fabric that sits around the collar and this extends out and tie into pretty bows around the wrist. 
• The dress comes with its matching tie belt in the same fabric so you can wear it loose and easy or cinch in the waist for shape.
• Once on the body the entire dress has this stunning movement and yet feels minimalist and elegant.
  
• Unlined and slips over the head to wear. The front buttons up to about the waist and each sleeve ties with attached ties. The belt is original to the dress.
• Tagged a vintage Dior 12 and the easy cut should allow it to fit a range of sizes.
• Excellent condition

Slightly inset shoulders: 14.5"
Bust: to 20" flat across from side seam to side seam

• The near twin of the set walked the runway for the Spring 2008 show for Look 33
• Made under the creative direction of John Galliano
• The Spring 2008 show coincided with John Galliano's tenth year with the label and it was Dior's 60th year as a label. John celebrated that by creating pieces based on some of his signature looks through the past decade. 
• It is a set that could perhaps be worn by a bride who is looking for a non-traditional dress or as part of her wedding weekend. It is also an exceptional set for any event and for the Dior collector. 
• Both pieces are a pale pink. The jacket is made out of a crepe with a slight texture and the skirt is done in one of his signature bias cuts with a silk like finish.
• The jacket has soft rounded shoulders. It is brought in at the waist and then the hips curve back out for an hourglass feel. I love the detail with the rhinestones and beads that sit at the front of each shoulder and bring the sides out and back. This is a string nod to pieces from the 1940s. On the back of either hip there is a similar detailing that creates a little bit of a swag and detail at the back of the jacket.
• The skirt is completely cut on the bias and the bottom has inset panels to give it a pretty fluted feel. It has beautiful movement as you move.
  
• Both pieces are fully lined in a pink silk. The jacket buttons to close at the front with fabric covered buttons. The skirt closes with a hidden set side zipper set beside the row of buttons down the side. Light padding in each shoulder
• Both pieces are tagged a FR38, GB10, IT42, US6.
• I see a couple of very faint tiny marks on the skirt otherwise excellent condition

• From the Cruise 2011 show. You can see a dress with similar front design details on Look 26 in the show
• Under the creative direction of John Galliano
• The show was shown in Shanghai that season. The red used for this dress and the single red dress in the show were a nod to the country, but overall Galliano chose not to do very specific references to Shanghai. He said at the time that he was more trying to "capture the feeling of Paris in its heyday" which was what he said he felt happening in Shanghai at that time.
•  Made from a muted red silk crepe chiffon that has a little bit of texture to it
• Wide straps curve up and around the neck and then extend into panels that cover your front and wrap around to the back.
• The neckline has a bit of a plunge at the front and the entire upper back is left bare.
• The silk is gathered down the front of the dress and is held in place by little horizontal ruffles of the same silk chiffon. The pleat work narrows down to a point at the waist. 
• The silk of the skirt is gathered up and into the centre point of the bodice and I love the extra detail this creates. The bottom skirt is quite full and widens out as it nears the hem.
• There is a slit that runs up the top layer of the skirt and this helps to creates beautiful movement as you walk. 
• Buttons are spaced down the side in his signature tightly spaced fabric covered buttons and loops and these hide a hidden set zipper.
• Fully lined in a red silk
• Tagged a Dior FR36, GB8, IT40, US4
• Excellent condition

• The twin of this gorgeous suit walked the Fall 2008 runway as Look 37
• Under the creative direction of John Galliano
• The show celebrated the 1960s with the opening music Simon & Garfunkel's 'Mrs. Robinson'. The models were styled with a nod to the 60s but in a highly exaggerated way.
• Galliano said of the show "I am always looking for heroines who make me dream"
• The suit is a brilliant green silk /cotton mix which keeps it light in weight but has enough structure to allow it to hold its intended shape perfectly.
• The collar is wide and exaggerated and the suit closes with matching silk covered buttons and hidden set snaps down the front.
• A little bow sits at the centre of the front and little flap pockets still have their tacking in place on each hip. The hips are shaped to curve outwards.
• The end of the sleeves and the around the entire hem is heavily embellished with big round silver discs, glass or stone polished pieces, mixed with little gold sequins.
• The skirt is cut in a little bit of a flare and will sit just above the knee depending on your height.
• Both pieces are lined in a green silk
• The jacket snaps and buttons to close down the front and the skirt closes with a hidden set side zipper
• The jacket is tagged at FR42, GB14, IT46, US10. The skirt is tagged FR36, GB8, IT40, US4.
• I see a teeny darkened mark on the skirt near a seam and a teeny faint spot on the back that is very minor. There are some missing embellishments here and there. Otherwise, it is in excellent condition.

• Valentino launched his ready-to-wear label in 1962 just two years after opening his first salon in Rome. He often brought in the designs that he created for his main couture label into the boutique work. In these early days pieces were remarkably close in quality and the line between the two labels was often blurred. 
• Made under the creative direction of the original Mr. Valentino
• The top is made out of a bright pink silk that has a ribbon effect worked into the fabric for added texture.
• The cut is boxy and generous through the body for an easy fit. The sleeves are also cut generously and end with a buttoned cuff.
• The neck is ruffled with black velvet piping looped through the ruffles. They tie stacked on top of each other for a really pretty and dramatic effect.
• The top is unlined and closes at the front with a series of hidden set buttons. There is the shell of padding in each shoulder but it feels like the actual padding has been removed.
• There is no size tag present so please go by the measurements below. The top is meant to feel more loose and generous.

• The twin of the dress walked the runway for the Spring 1997 Chanel show and was worn in that show by supermodel Naomi Campbell.
• Made under the creative direction of Karl Lagerfeld.
• The models in the show walked down a conveyor belt and the finale was an explosion of sequin dresses in a full range of pastel shades.
• This dress and the other dresses in the finale were all covered in clear sequins and silver metal thread embroidery. Karl told Women's Wear Daily "It's like ice crushed velvet. There are more than 40 different dresses like this in these very fresh very pale colours. It's Summer ice in glacier velvet"
• This is an exceptionally rare and important dress from the collection.
• The velvet that the dress is made out of is has an almost slight neon metallic feel to it but in a subtle way. And instead of being soft, the pile that makes up the velvet is all standing directly straight out from the fabric which gives it a very unusual, almost bouncy, feel
• Clear iridescent sequins that are held in place with metallic silver thread run around the neck, are scattered over the bodice, heavily detail all around the waist and then run down the sides of the dress and are applied densely all the way around the hem.
• The dress has a high neck and the holes for the arms at the side are scooped slightly lower then usual. The waist is defined but more generous and then the dress curves over the hips to flare out slightly at the hem. A slit runs up one side of the hem
  
• The dress is a more pastel bubblegum pink in person then how it photoed.
• Hand finishes throughout and all of the sequin work appears to be applied by hand.
• It closes at the back with a hidden set zipper and three Chanel logo embossed buttons at the back of the neck
• Tagged a Chanel 38
• Excellent condition

• The twin of this dress walked the runway for the Spring 1998 Versace show
• Made under the creative direction of Gianni Versace
• This is a rare in early documented example of his work
• The dresses made of two layers of silk. There is an inner silk layer that is a bright vivid pink and then this is topped with a black silk chiffon that has a touch of transparency. 
  
• Onto the top black layer is an elaborate pattern made of silver metallic thread and little tiny silver sequins. This adds a subtle sparkle over the entire dress.
• Two triangles sit at the front bust and they are brought inwards at the neck leaving an open keyhole underneath. The straps circle around both sides of your neck and then meet at the back. They then curve outwards to meet the sides of a low open scoop that leaves most of your back bare and exposed. 
  
• It skims over the waist and hips from there and I love the lingerie effect created by having the black float over the inner pink layer.
  
• The inner pink silk layer acts as the lining. The neck slips over the head and then the dress closes with a hidden set side zipper. When the dress is off the body the pink under-layer appears to extends past the bottom by a couple of inches but it is bias cit so once on it lines up as shown in the photos here
• Tagged a vintage Versace 40
• Excellent condition

Bust: each triangle covers up to 8 inches" flat across from side seam to side seam
Seam under the bust: to 16" flat across from side seam to side seam
Waist: 13" flat across from side seam to side seam
Hips: to 21" flat across from side seam to side seam
Bodice: approx 13" from neck to the seam under the bus
Total length: 60" from neck to hem but will come up a touch once on because of the bias cut
