c. early 1950's CHRISTIAN DIOR- New York
ORIGINAL Deep Navy Silk Taffeta Dress with Tassel Fringe!
There is 1954 Christian Dior New York Original gown in the Indiana
State Museum with the original price tag of $ 395 which calculates
to $3,258 in 2011 (slightly more for 2013!), so figure about $3,400.
This dress might have been slightly less, but not by much.... so
perhaps $3,000 in today's dollars! The ORIGINAL label is
better than the Christian Dior New York label without the
"original". Just sayin'! :) Now, you have to go look at
the photos of the tasseled fringe all around the wide huge portrait
collar of this dress. Really... I'll wait for you...
Nice, huh? I've had an Adrian dress with similar tassels on
the dress. Buttons up the front and hooks at the front waist. As you
can see, it's well-made with the inner boned corset. Short
sleeves. Wiggle tight skirt. Excellent condition except
for a tiny tear at the stress points at the very bottom of the
pocket on each side. Oh, and one tassel is hanging at the
back. Probably an easy fix if I knew how to even sew on
buttons!!! :) Yeah, I know... I should learn how to handle a
thread/needle. Measures: 33/34" bust, up to 24" waist,
up to 34" hips, 25" long from waist to hem. A classic dress
from a classic designer! Museum worthy!
