It is always a privilege to have true Haute Couture pieces pass through the shop. Haute Couture is the very pinnacle of the fashion experience and I would hazard to say that vintage versions are even a little more special. You also get a lot for your money with vintage versions as the cost of current Haute Couture has skyrocketed.

The blouse is exquisite and of course it was made entirely by in the Dior atelier as the parameters of Haute Couture define. The silk is of the finest grade and you can feel the difference at first touch. The cut is simple and chic with a pointed collar, soft gathers across the shoulder and buttoned cuffs. I love the striped silk fabric that adds instant visual texture. Lots of couture touches and just a wonderful example of the period. The original client's name is stamped on the label too! Note that while it presents as excellent condition when on it does have a flaw - please read condition notes below.

Unlined and closes at the front with buttons as seen. Each cuff buttons to close with a tiny hidden snap to hold the fabric perfectly in place. Entirely hand done as one would expect from Haute Couture. Note that it is flawed - there is a faint discoloration under each arm - please super-size to see the photos of each side. Presents well when on or layered under something and since it is Haute Couture I think these are forgivable or it would be appropriate as a study piece. It has been priced accordingly.
