This exceptional, archival Christian Dior by Yves Saint Laurent emerald green silk satin cocktail dress dates back to his 1958 spring/summer collection. That year marked a pivotal moment in fashion history, as a 21-year-old Yves Saint Laurent was appointed Creative Director of the House of Dior following Christian Dior’s sudden passing. In an extraordinary debut, Saint Laurent preserved the elegance and discipline of the maison while introducing a softer, more youthful modernity which launched Dior into a new era.

This magnificent museum-worthy dress exemplifies that delicate balance. The silhouette is flattering and refined, nipping in at the waist before falling into a clean pencil skirt that elongates the line. The bodice features a sculpted construction that creates subtle movement across the bust, supported by a fully boned interior corset that shapes and holds the form beautifully. The waist is precisely nipped, drawing the eye to the most dramatic detail: a large-scale fringed bow that anchors the look. The bow attaches to the dress with three discreet snaps and secures with hooks and eyes, allowing it to sit with sculptural confidence while remaining functional. We discovered a closely related dress from the same year, featuring the exact same bow detail affirming the design’s presence within Dior’s international collections of the period. Finished with a "Christian Dior – New York" label, this piece reflects the house’s mid-century expansion into the American market, where select designs were produced for international clients while maintaining Parisian standards of craftsmanship.

Elegant yet assertive, this is the kind of dress you slip into and immediately understand its power. The color is also the prettiest shade of emerald green which works perfectly year round. Whether worn for an intimate evening or a red carpet event, you feel the precision and confidence woven into every seam. Christian Dior by Yves Saint Laurent dresses from this formative moment are increasingly difficult to find—making this a rare opportunity to own a true cornerstone of fashion history.

Measurements
Bust: 33-34 inches
Waist: 26-27 inches
Hips: best up to 38 inches
Total Length: 48 inches

This Christian Dior by Yves Saint Laurent designer dress is in beautiful condition with no rips or holes. The dress closes with two hidden back zippers, complex sash belt snaps and a boned corset style bodice. The level of work in this piece would only be found in couture today. Only sign of age is some very faint wear by the underarms. Please message for detailed pictures. Highly wearable and an investment that will continue to increase in value.

Comfy & cute!
Size: 7, Color: Olive Green
I had my doubts that such cute high heeled shoes could be comfy, but these were comfy right out of the box & made it through a wedding with lots of dancing. Comfy, cute & a big hit! To add: I learned that sizing up by 1/3 size works best for me for all dress shoes, and the 7 worked best for my regular 6.5 size.

Very cute but uncomfortable without bandaids
Size: 9.5, Color: Brown
I wore these shoes to my friends wedding and I got a lot of compliments for how cute they were. They are extremely cute shoes that fit my feet perfectly. The downside is that they became painful for me to wear after only 30 minutes of me wearing to them. During the rehearsal- were I was mostly standing in them- the pads of my feet started to hurt and by the end of the rehearsal (45 minutes later) I could barely walk in them. The day of the wedding I wore them for pictures which took 30 minutes in total and they hurt so much that when I arrived to the venue I had to put bandaids on my feet to make my feet more comfortable and to avoid blisters. Another thing I would say about these shoes is that the strings didn’t stay up after I tied them around my calf. Every time I tied them around my calf, they would slide down to my ankle within minutes. So yeah I love these shoes and they were cute despite the strings sliding down but I would highly suggest wearing something soft to cover the pads of your feet for comfort.

Roomy and super cute!
Color: Red, Color: Red
Love this purse. Perfect clutch with enough room. Is it top quality? No m, but you’re not paying top quality. Wanted to address that as I’ve seen comments talking about the quality. It is sturdy and I feel like it’ll hold up. Love the handle on the side.
