Spring 1977 Christian Dior by Marc Bohan Purple & Multi Coloured Stripe Cotton Jersey Dress designer-karl-lagerfeld I love the attached sarong

I love the attached sarong style skirting that gives the illusion of a wrap skirt complete with a draped panel of fabric that flows down from one side of the waist

Bust: No true side seams will fit a A-B cup

the edge of each inner seam is painstakingly wrapped in a thin banding of silk chiffon

Stitches at the inner front skirt to denote that it was the front - many hand done garments and couture items had this detail during this time frame

I love the loose and easy kaftan cut that has little cuffs built in at the side to slip your hands through

Spring 1977 Christian Dior by Marc Bohan Purple & Multi Coloured Stripe Cotton Jersey Dress designer-karl-lagerfeld I love the attached sarongThis is a very pretty and easy to wear Christian Dior dress from the Marc Bohan years. I just had a black version of it in the shop and it was exciting to have a purple one come in so soon after that one. It is a wonderful example of the work being done for day wear during this time period. It is also a dress that is fabulously documented. It was photoed for L'Officiel that season and was part of the press package prior to the collection release. You
