Spring 1977 Christian Dior by Marc Bohan Purple & Multi Coloured Stripe Cotton Jersey Dress designer-karl-lagerfeld The front of the waist

The front of the waist has a elastic in it so once you step into it

This is a stunning suit that has all three original pieces and is the twin of the piece that walked the runway for the Fall 2000 show

I love the attached sarong style skirting that gives the illusion of a wrap skirt complete with a draped panel of fabric that flows down from one side of the waist

It is one of two that I have in the shop today and both were sourced from the original owner

dramatic statement piece that is not so over the top that its hard to style

Spring 1977 Christian Dior by Marc Bohan Purple & Multi Coloured Stripe Cotton Jersey Dress designer-karl-lagerfeld The front of the waistThis is a very pretty and easy to wear Christian Dior dress from the Marc Bohan years. I just had a black version of it in the shop and it was exciting to have a purple one come in so soon after that one. It is a wonderful example of the work being done for day wear during this time period. It is also a dress that is fabulously documented. It was photoed for L'Officiel that season and was part of the press package prior to the collection release. You
