This is a beautiful dress which is handmade from Christian Dior silk fabric.

In a base colour of soft maroon in has a subtle pencil line check pattern in a muted shade of gold/camel.

The fabric is high quality and shows the Christian Dior signature in two places on the dress. This is where the signature on the selvedges of the fabric has been skillfully allowed to show on the right side of the dress skirt where it has been seamed (see images).

This dress has been made by an accomplished seamstress/tailor. It features soft pleating to the skirt of the dress, an elasticated waist, a neckline with long ties and self covered buttons down the front and to the cuffs.

There is a small mark at the front button placket (see images). Fortunately when the neck ties are fastened it cannot be easily seen. 

The dress carries no label and has been bespoke handmade.

We estimate this will fit a current UK Size 10
