A Dior suit from the sixties is a marvelous thing to have and this one is just that and it sort of seems to symbolize the lady who wore Dior but wanted to feel up to the minute with a nod to the mod movement that was happening at the time. The size is fabulous - its a little larger and the shift dress underneath will work on a lot of different figure types. The fabric has a screened check worked into the silk - its actually smooth with no real texture so is an interesting play on itself. The dress is cut as simple as can be - it s simple shift. but with a little bit of extra seaming to ensure it fits just so. The jacket is a marvel - I love love love the extra panel of fabric that goes across the front edging and buttons on the other side. Its prim, its proper and its utterly fabulous.! A wonderful and rare set in excellent, seemingly unworn condition!
