1950s Boutique Paris Christian Dior New Look Dress Suit
The edit · Dresses
A used piece, from the 1950s. Buy the piece, not the promise. Condition, provenance and a maker's mark are worth more than a brand name alone.
The New Look that rebuilt fashion.
Founded in Paris in 1946 by Christian Dior. His 1947 New Look collection, with its cinched waist and full skirt, redrew the silhouette after the war, and the house never looked back.
Dior is collected for the Saddle bag, the Lady Dior and its costume jewellery of the 1950s and 1960s, all of which carry the romance of the house's golden age.
What to look for
Hallmarks on jewellery and stitching on bags. The Saddle's curved shape and the Lady Dior's cannage quilting are hard to fake convincingly.
Darts, a lining and a label tell you how a dress was made. Shoulders and hips carry the fit, so measure against something that already works on you.
How to wear it
Let the piece lead. Build the outfit or the room around it, not the other way round.
