dior dress black Vintage 1950s Christian Dior New Look Dress Black Silk Taffeta Medium – Poppy's Vintage ClothingThis is an early 1950s dress made in the New Look style that was originally introduced by Christian Dior in 1947. The New Look was an attempt by Dior to offer the public something different, after the austerity experienced during WWII. Because use of fabric had been restricted during the war, Dior used yards of fabric to make a fuller skirt, and a womans silhouette was emphasized by accenting the waist. This dress is made with full length raglan

This is an early 1950s dress made in the “New Look” style that was originally introduced by Christian Dior in 1947.  The New Look was an attempt by Dior to offer the public something different, after the austerity experienced during WWII.  Because use of fabric had been restricted during the war, Dior used yards of fabric to make a fuller skirt, and a woman’s silhouette was emphasized by accenting the waist.  

 

This dress is made with full length raglan sleeves.  The neckline is high with a narrow collar and the dress is constructed in a way that gives the appearance of a overcoat being worn over a plain dress, although it is all one piece, held together by seven buttons down either side of the front.  The “jacket” is gathered in pleats at the upper bodice and extends below the waistline and flays out with two large applied square pockets at either side of the hips.  The skirt is full with a below the knee length.  There are “ties” at either sleeve cuff - I’ve posed them a certain way, but they could perhaps be posed otherwise.  The dress is unlined.

Label: Christian Dior New York Original - In Canada Exclusive with Holt Renfrew & Co., Limited.  The Christian Dior New York label is a pret-a-porter label, but 50s garments of this era were designed by Christian Dior himself.

Color:  Black

Material: Silk taffeta 

Sizing: No size is indicated, and although this should fit a medium size, please note the following measurements for fit, taking into account the style of the dress:

Shoulders:  17” across approximate - difficult to measure due to raglan cut

Sleeves:  22 1/2” long from approximated shoulder

Sleeve inseam:  17”

Bust:  40” around, taken at the underarms

Waist:  28” around, uncinched 

Hips:  Full - meant to hang loosely

Length:  45” 

Condition:  It is in very good condition with no wear, tear, staining or odor.  It is missing its original belt, but you can use whatever you wish and a belt is not absolutely necessary.  There are two buttonholes at the very top, but no buttons or closure - I’m unsure as to what might have been there originally, but something could be improvised.

This is a fabulous New Look dress by the original designer of the New Look, Christian Dior - rare to find in this condition!

Awesome!
The Cremo Rich-Lathering Italian Bergamot Body Wash has completely elevated my morning routine, and the 32 fl oz bottle offers incredible value by lasting twice as long as the standard size. The scent is sophisticated and "boutique-quality," featuring a bright, crisp blend of Italian bergamot, neroli blossom, and fresh vetiver that actually evolves and reveals different notes as you wash. It builds into an astonishingly rich, creamy lather that leaves my skin feeling thoroughly clean and moisturized without any of that annoying sticky residue some other brands leave behind. It’s a refreshing, all-season fragrance that smells premium and masculine without being overpowering, making it the perfect base before heading out. If you’re looking for a high-end shower experience that won't break the bank, this Reserve Collection wash is a definitive five-star choice

Amazing
Before this, my favorite body wash was sage and citrus. Not just for cremo, any body wash. Amazing body wash for the entire line, so any scent you choose, you won't be disappointed. Lathers well, rinses off well enough after some scrubbing (good because it gives you a chance to exfoliate and scrub) but stays clung to your skin for a moisturized and cologned feeling. Italian bergamot is better than sage and citrus. smells like cologne, smells like a night out. I was hesitant to buy because idk what berhmot, vetiver, etc smell like, but now I do. Good value for the size. First shower, I used like 5 or 6 pumps just to really get to know it, but I bet 3 is good for most people.

Clean, Fresh, and Confidence Boosting
It has a really clean and calming scent that stands out without being overpowering like other body washes. The smell is less chemical per se. The bergamot gives off a sense of serenity while still making you feel fresh and put together. It lathers well and leaves you feeling genuinely clean after every shower. What I liked most is that the scent actually sticks around throughout the day. Catching a hint of it later on gave me a small boost of confidence and that “I’ve got myself together” feeling. Definitely a good value for its worth.

The best smelling soap
Cremo Rich-Lathering Italian Bergamot Body Soap offers a refreshing and luxurious bathing experience. The scent is absolutely captivating, with a bright and citrusy Italian Bergamot fragrance that isn’t overpowering but still lingers just enough to make you feel invigorated. The soap creates a rich, creamy lather that feels gentle on the skin, leaving it feeling soft and moisturized without any greasy residue. The formula is smooth and easy to apply, and it rinses off cleanly, making it ideal for those with sensitive skin. Overall, Cremo’s Italian Bergamot body soap is an excellent choice for anyone seeking a high-quality soap that combines a delightful fragrance with effective, skin-friendly cleansing.

Better than dove
Good smells, lathers like crazy compared to similar soaps, so you don't need to use a ton at once. Feels nice and moisturizing, idk, I'm picky and I like it.
