This absolutely breathtaking Christian Dior by Yves Saint Laurent blush pink silk strapless corset gown dates to his spring/summer 1958, a pivotal moment in fashion history. Following Monsieur Dior’s sudden passing in late 1957, the house appointed the then 21-year-old Saint Laurent as creative director, making him one of the youngest couturiers ever to lead a Parisian maison. We were thrilled to uncover the original documentation of this gown, one of Dior's key models Odile Kern in the same dress. Further research revealed a closely related design from March 1958 described as “an evening dress in pink orchid silk,” modeled in London. Additionally, we found a photo of a dress sharing identical constructional elements from the Dior's haute couture winter collection presented at Blenheim Palace in November 1958, where it was shown to Princess Margaret. This is a clear testament to the international reach and prestige of Saint Laurent’s earliest couture work.

This archival gown is a masterclass in refined construction and intricate detail. Fashioned in luxurious pale blush-pink silk, the strapless bodice is meticulously shaped with internal boned corsetry, creating a sculpted secure fit that defines the waist before flowing into a full, pleated skirt. At the bust, an asymmetric silk bow unfurls with intention, its cascading fringe panels adding movement and textural contrast. This special dress retains its numbered Dior demi-couture label alongside a rare Dior Ltd. London designation—where select couture models were tailored to suit UK preferences while maintaining the uncompromising standards of Parisian craftsmanship. Most remarkably, the original paper tag remains attached within the interior skirting, an exceptional survival detail seldom encountered in garments of this caliber. To own a Christian Dior gown from this transitional moment is a privilege; to acquire one documented with such depth is a true 'Holy Grail'.  A profound piece of wearable art, it would be equally suited to a curated archive, institutional exhibition, or a red carpet event where historic beauty is desired.

Only signs of wear are some very faint color unevenness and a few minor surface spots. Please message for detailed pictures. A wonderful iconic investment piece that will only increase in value.

Not great at cooling
Size: Queen (2 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
Each pillow cover has 2 sides, one marked for cooling, and the other a different fabric. The cooling side is about the same effectiveness as having a silk or satin pillow cover. It's only cool when you first touch it. The cooling side doesn't seem to absorb or wick moisture, so if you are sweaty - it keeps the moisture in place. You'll definitely want a regular pillow case over the pillow cover. In fact, if you suffer from night sweats, the non-cooling side is actually more comfortable. The pillow fill is ample, and simple to squish around for more support for your neck, etc. Think bean bag. But it will retain your impression after use. I find I need to do as I did when I had down pillows - give it a few good shakes in the morning when I make the bed to get it evened out for the coming night. In all, it is a well-made and comfortable pillow to sleep on, but it does not excel in cooling.

excellent pillows i bought two sets!!
Size: Firm Queen (2 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
I ordered these for my son who has neck issues and has gone through so many pillows trying to find one that he liked. They’re heavy, so i was worried that they might be “too” heavy to be able to sleep on comfortably, so I ordered a second set, one firmer than the other (just in case) and gave him a set for Xmas and he loved the first set so much without even trying the less firm ones.He also needs the cooling factor and these offered that, too. They are filled with pieces of memory foam (tons of it) and each pillow can be modified by removing some of the foam. The covers are beautiful, high quality fabric with a zipper so ts easy to remove or replace the foam pieces. The size is perfect and they keep their shape. I kept the second set i ordered rather than returning them and i love the pillows. I actually modified two by removing some of the foam pieces. I kept the foam pieces in a zippered pillow protector and i can always adjust mine when or if i need to. 1000% love these.

The Perfect Firm Pillow l
Size: Queen (1 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
It is everything it claims to be, cool, comfortable and strong. I got this for my husband first, he loves it and then got one for my son, he uses it to support his knees and has been sleeping much better since then. They both needed a firm pillow that is not super soft, firm but not achy. Finally found the perfect one.

Comodidad total durante el embarazo
Esta almohada en forma de U ha sido una de las mejores compras de mi embarazo. Brinda soporte completo a la espalda, la pancita y las piernas, ayudándome a encontrar una postura cómoda para dormir. Es muy suave, no se aplasta y se adapta perfectamente al cuerpo. Desde que la uso descanso mucho mejor y me despierto sin dolores. Además, la funda es agradable al tacto y fácil de lavar. La recomiendo totalmente a futuras mamás que buscan dormir mejor y sentirse más cómodas. 💕

Comfortable accessory
This U-shaped pillow is made with a soft exterior material. The overall shape and flexibility allows for comfort in a number of different positions. I was expecting a pillow that was slightly more firm, however, it suits the intended purpose. The cover is removable and machine washable.
