Incredible Spring 2003 Christian Dior by John Galliano Black Silk Open Cut Out Bow Dress w High Slit z-archive-chanel what was then a cutting

what was then a cutting edge fabric

Hips: 16-20" flat across from side seam to side seam

The back dips into an almost impossible low V to leave a bare expanse of skin

The halter has a gold chain running through with a double loop of chain at the back - again you simply hook it into place and it drapes perfectly over one shoulder leaving the back bare

It has an easy to wear caftan feel to it but at the same time there is a clever single seam that runs from just under the arm and down one side of the body that gives the dress just a touch of shape

Incredible Spring 2003 Christian Dior by John Galliano Black Silk Open Cut Out Bow Dress w High Slit z-archive-chanel what was then a cuttingThis dress is from the Spring 2003 Dior collection. It was made under the creative direction of John Galliano. Vogue set of the collection that John Galliano "has rebranded the legendary Parisian house via high octane couture shows that broach the wilder shores of creativity and are then filtered down to be instantly recognizable ready to wear pieces for Christian Dior addicts." I love that we have photos of Laetitia Casta wearing a gold version so
