A stunning black wasp-waisted couture dress with padded lining Christian Dior style. It is a vintage cocktail, evening dress Circa 1950-1960’s, made in France, handcrafted with silk-crepe fabric in black colour. The dress has short pleats sleeves, waist fitted, small pleats and frilled with two satin ribbons all around with two bows in front. The dress is closing with a full zip from AILEE (50 cm long), French manufacture. The zip is not original and it has been changed at one stage. The dress is fully lined and padded lining from the waist to the bottom.

Condition A: Vintage-Preowned, very good condition. Tiny sign of wear underneath one of the sleeve. Two tiny holes underneath the Chanel Camellias flowers (offered with the dress) – these holes probably due to the use of a brooch. There is no label tag nor composition label.
