About the Item

This tunic mini-dress, resplendent in pale blue gingham wool, was designed by Guiborgé for Miss Dior in the 1970s. Aimed at a younger audience than the Christian Dior Boutique collections, it has a playful, ingénue feel. The chunky straps form a dungaree-style top and fasten at the front with snap closures under white plastic tops. The front of the dress features a large pocket split into two that fastens with two white-topped snap closures. Accessed under the left arm with a white zip. It is fully lined in white satin. The original label reads “Miss Dior” in stylised font. The Miss Dior clothing line was launched in 1967 as a lower priced, ready-to-wear line made to appeal to a more youthful customer. The line was designed by Phillipe Guiborgé. Guiborgé was known for designing the Dior Boutique line and for assisting Marc Bohan in Dior’s couture house. The Miss Dior store was next door to the Dior couture house and the collections were produced in the same workshops as the main Dior line. This lovely tunic dress is in truly excellent vintage condition with no faults of any note. The composition label reads “Polyester Melange (Blend)”. Due to its age, there is no size label so please check our measurements below carefully. We recommend it for up to sizes UK 10 or US 6. Our model's sizes are: Bust: 31" (80cm), Waist: 25" (64cm), Hips: 34" (87cm) and Height: 5' 4" (164cm) and she's a size UK 6, US 2. This had lots of room to spare on her. MEASUREMENTS BUST - 34 in.
