Spring 1983 Christian Dior by Marc Bohan Haute Couture Black Sequin Bustier Top & Ivory Skirt Set designer-james-galanos An amazing piece of couture

An amazing piece of couture and fashion history

The feathers are handset and are in excellent condition with no apparent shedding

There is another repair along the hem on the right side - there is tons of fabric here so it is concealed very well but it does dip up just a touch here if you see it laying flat

Skirt: 45" from waist seam to bottom hem

The skirt is very high waisted - it is formed to hug the torso to just under the bust in a tight sheath and then cascades out in a stylized version of its earlier fifties contemporaries

Spring 1983 Christian Dior by Marc Bohan Haute Couture Black Sequin Bustier Top & Ivory Skirt Set designer-james-galanos An amazing piece of coutureI think the skirt might be older, maybe 1950s and the top is an unlabeled piece of Dior. Its very hard to tell with couture and the women could have had the skirt made at the same time. They go very well together and they were stored together from the estate I purchased them from so I have decided to keep them together. The womans estate was chock full of Dior, Valentino and other couture designers. Both pieces are amazing examples of hand made
