An extremely rare and ultra sophisticated Christian Dior black silk-taffeta and silk-crepe skirted cocktail dress dating back to his lifetime 1956 spring-summer collection. Although Dior’s legacy has continued to shape style over the decades, the designer only commandeered his own fashion house for a mere ten years before his tragic death in 1957. This dress belongs to one of the last highly coveted collections he oversaw. Here is a rare opportunity to own a breathtaking Dior numbered original designed by Dior himself for the Europe export market before he passed away. Garments with this rare label were made for international clients who could not go in for multiple fittings at the Paris atelier. This meticulously constructed beauty consists of a black silk crepe fitted hourglass dress with a lavish silk taffeta portrait collar and overskirt. The dramatic oversized portrait neckline collar with bow detail is such a gorgeous look iconic to this era. Dior’s celebrated 'New Look' silhouette, which revolutionized post-World War II fashion with its emphasis on softness and femininity, accentuates the natural female figure. The skirt’s multiple layers can be pushed back to reveal the fitted fabric underneath—a striking surprise that can be shown off in photographs. The designer once said, “I think of my work as ephemeral architecture, dedicated to the beauty of the female body.” This epic archival lifetime Christian Dior cocktail dress is a testament to his philosophy.

This archival Christian Dior 20544 numbered demi-couture dress is in beautiful condition with no rips, stains or holes. Hand-finished couture construction throughout.

My new Favourite Summer Tank Top - padded cup (no shelf bra!)
Size: X-Small, Color: Color Block Black, Size: X-Small, Color: Color Block Black
Cutest tank top, my new summer go-to. I was looking and searching high and low for a tank top which had padded cups without the shelf bra. Shelf bras are so uncomfortable with their elastic bands and are even worse in the summer, sweaty sun. I wanted something breathable, movable, and with just a bit of padding to cover the nipples and add the slightest big of shape. If you are large breasted these built in cups might not be the best for you, but as a smaller breasted lady these are perfect. The cups are not over the top bulky, but also they are not meant to really add "support" (for those who are looking for support this wouldn't be the tank for you. Think lightly padded!) The material is super soft and the length comes down to the hips. The tank doesn't ride up, so you're not always having to pull them down and adjust, and so you could wear them for both workouts or for casual summer evenings. I bought size XS and I am 5'1, 97 lbs. I was wondering if I should go to a size S because it wasn't clear by some of the reviews, but I'm glad I bought the XS because the shoulder strap is also the perfect length (not too baggy but also not super tight). Read the sizing chart before you buy - they are true to the size indicated on the sizing chart. Some have said theirs didn't come with padding, or the stitching was poor, but the ones I've received are totally fine. This tank is just plain-old comfortable any way you look at it. I'll be buying more colours!

Great workout tank
Size: Small, Color: Cocoa
Great workout tank with built-in padding. Fits true to size, is comfortable and soft that hugs your form. Only reason I’m giving 4 stars is because the pads do get shifted around during washes, which is typical but frustrating. I air dry and haven’t had any issues with shrinking either.

Cute but NOT supportive
Size: X-Large, Color: Floral Pink Rose, Size: X-Large, Color: Floral Pink Rose
These are NOT “workout” tanks offering support. They have a removable cup sewn into the front of the shirt, similar to a bathing suit. If you have small (or gloriously high) boobs and want a shirt to hide your nipples, this is great. If you want something to actually give support, this is NOT it. There is no band to provide support. So if you have large or low breasts, don’t even try. You’ll have to wear a bra with it unless you want your boobs hanging below the sewn in cups. That being said, the material is great. It’s nice and thick with lots of stretch. The cut is also adorable. And I LOVE all the colors. I wish it just had a supportive band!

Comfy & cute! But low support
Size: X-Large, Color: Ocean Depths
This tank is super comfortable and I LOVE the color. The built-in bra is a little weird; I thought it was sewn in backwards but apparently not. It has low/medium support, bigger chested folks may not like this. Im a 36D and its right on the line for support where I can't decide about wearing this in public. I sized up and am glad I did; it fits well! Im 5'7" and 165lbs for reference.

Fantastic tank top
Size: Small, Color: Ocean Depths
This is a great tank top. I love that there is a inserted bra. I have read other reviews about the padding moving around during wash but that's really no big deal and easily put back into place. It's a super soft and well fitting shirt.
