From the Christian Dior Haute Couture autumn/winter 1964 collection under Marc Bohan, four years into his thirty-year tenure and at the height of his early period at the house. This dress has a strapless silk bustier underlayer that supports a chiffon overlay. The overlay was cut without a shoulder seam, with wide semi-sheer sleeves ending in black lace cuffs and a full skirt with double-flounced lace-trimmed hem.

Christian Dior

Christian Dior opened his Paris couture house in 1946 with the backing of textile magnate Marcel Boussac. His debut collection, presented in February 1947 and immediately dubbed the New Look, introduced rounded shoulders, a cinched waist and a full skirt that transformed the direction of postwar fashion within a season. The Bar Suit, the central piece of that first collection, has been reinterpreted by every creative director of the house since. Dior produced twenty-two couture collections before his death in 1957 and the house has since been led by Yves Saint Laurent, Marc Bohan, Gianfranco Ferré, John Galliano, Raf Simons and Maria Grazia Chiuri.
