A dramatic and utterly romantic piece from John Galliano’s tenure at Christian Dior, this Fall/Winter 2006 ensemble is rendered in deep crimson silk chiffon printed with moody tonal black floral botanicals throughout.
The strapless dress features a structured inner bodice/corset that provides shape and support, while the exterior cascades into fluid, bias-cut layers with ruffled handkerchief hemline details that add movement and a thoroughly Galliano sense of theatricality. The silhouette is fitted at the bust and waist before releasing into a flowy, asymmetric skirt.
The piece is completed by a generously sized matching silk chiffon shawl in the same crimson floral print, which can be draped as a wrap, looped at the neck as a dramatic collar, or worn as a stole.
Size: FR 40
Flat measurements: Bust: 16.5”, waist: 16”, hips: Flowy and flexible
Note: The structured inner corset allows this dress to be tailored down to accommodate a smaller size.
Condition: excellent vintage condition!
rare and wearable piece of Galliano-era Dior at its most opulent.
