Description
Two-piece dress in black unlined wool jersey. According to the previous owner, this is an original Christian Dior from the autumn of 1947 or at the latest 1948. The dress is well-cut but at the same time casual through the raised collar, rolled up sleeves and loosely tied belt to the calf-length pleated skirt and brings the thought to a relaxed shirt dress.
