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.

Not the best.
Size: 16.5 Inch, Color: Rustic Brown, Size: 16.5 Inch, Color: Rustic Brown
The wood style is burned wood without any sealant. I would have given a better rating but some of the shelving was bowed which makes it not look as appealing. Pretty easy to install. Definitely will need your impact. I can’t imagine trying to do that with a hand held screwdriver. With the wood being bent the quality isn’t what I would want it to be. It can hold a decent amount of weight. But certainly not made for books. Even with wall anchors. It gives you the option to hang it as shown in its picture or the other way where the supports are flipped.

Great shelves with basket storage
Size: 16inch, Color: 2 Sets, Size: 16inch, Color: 2 Sets
I was looking for shelves that had storage and these have by far exceeded my expectations. I love them! They came well packaged with everything needed to hang them up. It took us less than 5 mins to hang them. They are sturdy and stable. I definitely would recommend this product. We have them hung on the wall above our coffee bar.
