• The dress is a more recent one but has the has the same feel as some of the Spring 1978 Dior dresses that I have had in the shop in the past, and I believe that era may be the archival inspiration for this dress.
  
• It is a very pretty little dress and even without any firm documentation it is an absolutely beautiful dress in its own right.
• The dress is made out of a deep blue silk that is very light in weight and then it has a red heart print scattered over its surface.
• The dress is suspended from the shoulders from straps made out of the same silk. The top neckline is cut across and the entire neckline has elastic. The neckline continues past the straps and expands outwards to become the top of full balloon shaped sleeves. 
• Under that the silk skims over the bust and then the waist is banded. Attached to the top of the band at the back is a wide panel of a matching silk that extends out to very long ties. These wrap and cinch around you to add shape and detail at the waist.
• The skirt falls from there to just below the knee, depending on your height, and it floats outward for a bit of fullness and movement.
• The lightness of the fabric and ease in the cut allow it to move beautifully when you move and the cut through the body is loose and open so it is very easy to wear and fit.
• And above all else, I love the little scattering of hearts over the print. From a distance, it has a more dotted feel but as you get closer, you realize that it is little hearts.
• The dress is unlined and closes with a hidden set side zipper. Elastic through the neckline and at the end of each sleeve. The belt is attached and a part of the dress. It appears to have been worn very little if at all.
