Curator’s Note

This dress was seen on the Christian Dior’s Spring/Summer 2010 ready-to-wear runway, designed by John Galliano. The collection drew on burlesque and 1940s film noir, with corsetry and lingerie details brought into the clothes rather than hidden underneath them. This dress is a great example of this -the strapless bodice is made from cream silk, plumetis mesh and lace, with internal boning. It is finished with a flared lace overlay skirt with a flounced edge.

Description

  • Strapless bodice in cream silk rep, with plumetis mesh and lace detailing
  • Boned corset
  • Tiered flounced lace skirt
  • Corset-style lacing back
  • Side hook and eye closure fastening

Size and Measurements

This has been well-preserved. Any imperfections are negligible and do not detract from the item's overall appearance or functionality.

John Galliano for Christian Dior

John Galliano was appointed creative director of Christian Dior in 1996, bringing fifteen years of theatrical, historically driven collections to the house. His references ranged across Marchesa Casati, Egyptian antiquity, the Belle Époque, Japanese geisha culture and the Parisian demi-monde, each season staged as a full narrative. Under his direction Dior tripled its turnover and produced some of the most collected ready-to-wear and haute couture of the era, including the iconic Saddle Bag.

A version of this dress appeared on the Cristian Dior SS 2010 runway. The runway version has an asymmetrical black tulle panel across the bodice, which this dress doesn't have.
