c1966 Numbered Christian Dior Boutique Silver Bead Shift Dress designer-hermes The top is luxurious blackThis extraordinary dress dates to the 1966 collection based on the similar fabric treatments I have found from two other dresses from that collection (pictured here). It is from the Dior London Boutique and numbered so would have been a special or custom order. It is a wonderful example of the mod feel of that era and one of the best sixties dresses I have had. The base fabric is a silk with raised circles set side by side across the entire dress.
