Very rare Christian Dior couture vintage evening lace ballgown, 1953

Christian Dior | ‘Fête au Village’ Cocktail Dress “After women, flowers are the most divine creations.” said Dior, whose love of fashion was equaled by his passion for horticultural pursuits. This cocktail dress and it’s title conjure images of a Provençal fête festooned in the forget-me-nots that provide the inspiration for the cotton embroidery.
