An extremely rare and ultra sophisticated Christian Dior black silk-taffeta and silk-crepe skirted cocktail dress dating back to his lifetime 1956 spring-summer collection. Although Dior’s legacy has continued to shape style over the decades, the designer only commandeered his own fashion house for a mere ten years before his tragic death in 1957. This dress belongs to one of the last highly coveted collections he oversaw. Here is a rare opportunity to own a breathtaking Dior numbered original designed by Dior himself for the Europe export market before he passed away. Garments with this rare label were made for international clients who could not go in for multiple fittings at the Paris atelier. This meticulously constructed beauty consists of a black silk crepe fitted hourglass dress with a lavish silk taffeta portrait collar and overskirt. The dramatic oversized portrait neckline collar with bow detail is such a gorgeous look iconic to this era. Dior’s celebrated 'New Look' silhouette, which revolutionized post-World War II fashion with its emphasis on softness and femininity, accentuates the natural female figure. The skirt’s multiple layers can be pushed back to reveal the fitted fabric underneath—a striking surprise that can be shown off in photographs. The designer once said, “I think of my work as ephemeral architecture, dedicated to the beauty of the female body.” This epic archival lifetime Christian Dior cocktail dress is a testament to his philosophy.

Lovely Shoes
Size: 8.5, Color: Nude/Nubuck
These were a gift. I understand they are "slightly" wide at the toes but fit otherwise. The color & heel height were exactly as desired. She felt the traction was also very good. I look forward to seeing her wear them to her son's wedding!

Wedding Guest Shoe
Size: 6.5, Color: Silver/Glitter
True to size. Very true 6.5 in most all of my shoes. I thought the fit was great but after wearing for a little bit they are horrible. The glitter goes down a little too far on the back and rubs the heel. The sides of your toes will hurt after a little bit of wearing them. Super cute shoes and I toughed it out because they looked great but definitely not the most comfortable shoes.

These shoes are adorable but they run large
Size: 11, Color: Champagne
Dream Pairs Low Chunk Heel Size 11 Color These shoes are absolutely gorgeous. The beautiful champagne color shines so exquisitely in the light. They are very shiny and somewhat sparkly. They are definitely eye catching. Style These shoes are great looking, rather sharp. I appreciate the chunky heel design which goes with many outfits from dresses, pants, and jumpers. Size I usually wear a size 11 shoe, sometimes a 10.5 depending on how they run, but these run large in length. I could have easily bought a size 10 for the length of the shoe. My left foot is smaller than the right foot so usually the right foot fits more snug. I definitely still had room in the back for the right foot, but of course, even more room in the back for the left foot. In terms of the width, the toe strap very well accommodates wider toe boxes, as the straps fit properly right out of the box, but the arch of the shoe is a little narrow. Nothing too noticeable but the fit of the shoe is a little odd. Versatility I find that these shoes can be worn with many different styles and outfits, and can go with dressy or casual clothing. The variety of matching outfits is not limited. Comfort These shoes are very comfortable to wear and walk in. Overall, I recommend these shoes

Perfect heel!
Size: 11, Color: Gold/Glitter
Love these heels! I bought the gold and wasn’t expecting them to be most glittery. They are beautiful and comfortable! The heel is chunky enough that these walk like a wedge but don’t look like the heels from the lay 90’s. Love them and will be buying in different colors n
