  • The twin of this dress walked the runway for the Fall 1984 collection
  • It was made under the creative direction of Marc Bohan.
  • It is also the exact dress that was worn by Krysta Rodriguez in 2023
  • This is a beautiful example of the work being produced by Christian Dior in this time period.
  • In the book Dior; Catwalk, the notes on the fall collection state that the collection was placed 'under the sign of opposites' and that he had looked to the work of Abstract Expressionist painter Jackson Pollock for inspiration. Pieces were adorned in drip embroidery and motifs and then he did a series of long sheath dresses that were 'accessorized with 'Pollock jewels" in jet and multi colour stones'.
  • We found several photos of the twin of this dress on the runway which shows you how fabulous it is on the body.
  • The dress is a true Haute Couture piece and has the appropriate numbered label intact. It would have been made completely by hand in the Paris atelier.
  • The dress is made out of a soft textured silk velvet in a jet black. Using a velvet that has this added texture to it is an incredible choice as the dress catches the light in different ways as you move and it really makes it come to life.
  • The cut is simple and sleek with a low front neckline that dips from an angle created over each shoulder. It slightly curves down to the centre and then the fabric is softly gathered from there to the waist.
  • This leaves it with a slightly bloused over feel over the the nipped in waist.
  • The sleeves are cut long and they slim down as they reach the wrists. There is a slight volume built in at the outer part of each shoulder. On the inside I see hand made silk cases that at one time had light padding in them but the padding has been removed at some point to give it a softer shape. You could easily have some padding put back in if you wanted a stronger shoulder.
  • Inside the bodice is a more fitted and boned inner silk corseted piece that holds you in place while the silk velvet simply drapes softly over that outside.
  • The skirt is cut to feel sleek and simple as it falls to the floor narrowing in slightly as it reaches the hem. A vent runs up the back so that you can walk.
  • It is a beautiful and dramatic piece despite its simple lines. 
  • Fully lined in a black silk and it has a built in bodice made of black silk. The inner bodice is boned and closes with its own zipper. The exterior dress closes with a back painted metal zipper. Each sleeve has a zipper at the cuff. Tagged with the Couture #19469. Silk hand made pads that have no padding inside each shoulder as described above. I see some small flaws to the silk on either side of the zipper on the inner corset. Please see the photo after the label shot. 
  • There is no size tag present because it is true Couture. Please see the measurements below.

Too baggy! (UPDATE): Bought this style of jeans again and they fit great!
Size: 31W x 30L, Color: Tinted Light Wash
These jeans are too baggy for my liking. Edit: I purchased more jeans of this style recently again and for some reason they fit a lot better to my liking than before when I first left the initial review for this. I have updated my review from 3 stars to 4 stars now. I purchased the black, grey, dark wash and tinted medium blue, and all 4 had a good fit on me. My original review stated that it was too baggy but the 4 jeans I just bought had a fitted look which is what i prefer, not too baggy and not to slim/skinny. I want to point out that the fit varies from the color choices. For example, the black, grey and dark wash jeans, i went with a size 32x30 because 31x30 for those colors were too tight/slim on me and for the tinted medium blue, i downsize to 31x30 because 32x30 for this color is too baggy. So buy the size you usually wear and if it's too slim or baggy then send it back and size up or down. Buying jeans on Amazon, i feel that you will have to buy a few different sizes and see which one fits you the best and then go from there. Edit (3/7/26): sizing is very inconsistent. So my previous edit above stated that the jeans I recently purchased fit great on me, and that's true, so I decided to buy another jean, same color and same size, this time the jean fit way too small/tight. I feel like amazon needs to do better quality control on these jeans. How does 2 pairs of the same jeans/color/size have such an inconsistent in size/fitting to it!

Great fitting jeans just as nice as any name brand you can buy !
Size: 34W x 28L, Color: Tinted Light Wash
So I have been on a weight loss journey and the Amazon jeans have been my go to. For one to me they are just as nice as any of the name brands. They fit well are comfortable and honestly they are all I have purchased for a few years now. I’m also super short and this is one of the few brands I can find in a 29 length and that also saves me money since I don’t have to take them to a tailor to be modified. Material is nice to the touch nice thickness and has all the pockets you would expect in a blue jeans. Again great value for the money and this is about my 5th pair of these in various colors. I highly recommend give them a try and you will be hooked !

Nice jeans for the price.
Size: 35W x 34L, Color: Black-heavyweight
Very comfortable and well fitting pants. The only issue I have is it's not tapered towards the bottom of the leg and doesn't look as fitted but overall is a very good pair of pants for the price.
