  • The twin of this dress walked the runway for the Fall 1984 collection
  • It was made under the creative direction of Marc Bohan.
  • It is also the exact dress that was worn by Krysta Rodriguez in 2023
  • This is a beautiful example of the work being produced by Christian Dior in this time period.
  • In the book Dior; Catwalk, the notes on the fall collection state that the collection was placed 'under the sign of opposites' and that he had looked to the work of Abstract Expressionist painter Jackson Pollock for inspiration. Pieces were adorned in drip embroidery and motifs and then he did a series of long sheath dresses that were 'accessorized with 'Pollock jewels" in jet and multi colour stones'.
  • We found several photos of the twin of this dress on the runway which shows you how fabulous it is on the body.
  • The dress is a true Haute Couture piece and has the appropriate numbered label intact. It would have been made completely by hand in the Paris atelier.
  • The dress is made out of a soft textured silk velvet in a jet black. Using a velvet that has this added texture to it is an incredible choice as the dress catches the light in different ways as you move and it really makes it come to life.
  • The cut is simple and sleek with a low front neckline that dips from an angle created over each shoulder. It slightly curves down to the centre and then the fabric is softly gathered from there to the waist.
  • This leaves it with a slightly bloused over feel over the the nipped in waist.
  • The sleeves are cut long and they slim down as they reach the wrists. There is a slight volume built in at the outer part of each shoulder. On the inside I see hand made silk cases that at one time had light padding in them but the padding has been removed at some point to give it a softer shape. You could easily have some padding put back in if you wanted a stronger shoulder.
  • Inside the bodice is a more fitted and boned inner silk corseted piece that holds you in place while the silk velvet simply drapes softly over that outside.
  • The skirt is cut to feel sleek and simple as it falls to the floor narrowing in slightly as it reaches the hem. A vent runs up the back so that you can walk.
  • It is a beautiful and dramatic piece despite its simple lines. 
  • Fully lined in a black silk and it has a built in bodice made of black silk. The inner bodice is boned and closes with its own zipper. The exterior dress closes with a back painted metal zipper. Each sleeve has a zipper at the cuff. Tagged with the Couture #19469. Silk hand made pads that have no padding inside each shoulder as described above. I see some small flaws to the silk on either side of the zipper on the inner corset. Please see the photo after the label shot. 
  • There is no size tag present because it is true Couture. Please see the measurements below.

Perfect for Sensitive Skin – Gentle, Moisturizing and Long-Lasting
Scent: Fragranced, Size: 30.6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
If I could give it 10 stars, I would! This Dove Deep Moisture Body Wash is absolutely amazing and hands down my favorite Dove body wash so far. The size is large, so it lasts a long time and offers excellent value for the price, especially considering the quality. The texture is thick and creamy, not watery at all. It spreads very well on the skin and a little goes a long way. The scent is very pleasant, soft, and not overpowering—it actually reminds me of baby powder, which I personally love. It feels clean and comforting, not artificial or strong. While showering, it feels gentle and luxurious, and after rinsing, my skin feels soft, smooth, and well-hydrated, never dry or tight. This is especially important for me because I have sensitive skin, and this body wash has been perfect. Dove is an excellent brand, and I’ve tried several of their body washes over the years. This one was also recommended to me by both a dermatologist and a gynecologist, which gave me even more confidence in using it regularly. Overall, this is an outstanding product. I highly recommend it, especially for anyone with sensitive skin. If you’re looking for a moisturizing, gentle, and high-quality body wash, this one is a must-try. 💙 Super recommended!

Great moisturizing body wash, but the scent takes some getting used to
Scent: Fragranced, Size: 30.6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I've been using Dove products for years and this body wash does not disappoint when it comes to moisturizing. My skin feels genuinely soft and hydrated after every shower without that tight, dry feeling I get with other cleansers. The no sulfates and no parabens formula is a big plus for me as I've been trying to be more conscious about what goes on my skin. At 30.6 oz it's also a great size that lasts a good while. My only real note is that the scent is a bit different than what I expected — it's not unpleasant but there's a slightly unusual undertone that I couldn't quite put my finger on at first. It took me maybe a week or so of using it before I stopped noticing it. If you're sensitive to scents it might throw you off initially, but it does fade quickly once you're out of the shower. Overall a solid body wash that delivers on the moisture promise — just go in knowing the scent might need a little adjustment period.

Wow, Dove really outdid themselves. Great product.
Scent: Fragranced, Size: 30.6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Wow, what a difference what a difference Amazon basic body wash is what I was using before to be honest and it used to be very good. I don’t know if they changed the formula but that formula now it doesn’t lather up. You have to use half the bottle to get it to lather up this one lathers up amazingly well and you only need a few pushes. As a guy, I love it. We have dry skin too, just like anybody else so between moisturizer and lather , the scent the skin protection the skin softeners the whole thing it’s great. And you get a lot of of it too, which is awesome so overall at least to me a great value for the money
