{"product_id":"2000-christian-dior-runway-documented-blue-metallic-lace-slip-dress","title":"2000 Christian Dior Runway Documented Blue Metallic Lace Slip Dress","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis ethereal lace gown was designed by John Galliano for Christian Dior’s Fall 2000 ready-to-wear collection, relatively early in what would become one of the most celebrated periods in the house’s modern history. Lace and diaphanous fabrics featured prominently throughout the collection; Vogue particularly noted its “miraculously cut” lace and chiffon dresses. Baby-blue glittering lace appeared on the strappy camisole of Look 25, while Look 33 featured a pale pink lace gown with a similarly low, dropped-waist silhouette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTailored from delicate baby-blue lace patterned with abstract florals and roses, the fabric is shot throughout with fine silver metallic thread, giving the surface a subtle glisten as it moves. The slender spaghetti straps are doubled and formed from tightly rolled lengths of the same silver-flecked lace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dress is closely fitted through the body, with the front double-layered in lace down to the dropped waist. From below the hips, the skirt flares gently into a softly pleated shape that creates considerably more movement towards the hem. The colour is subtly ombréd through the skirt, deepening from blue into charcoal grey at the bottom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike the more overtly sheer versions shown on the runway, this dress is lined in navy silk, making it a more wearable commercial interpretation of the collection while retaining the delicacy and transparency of the lace at the surface. It fastens beneath the left arm with concealed snap closures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dress is in very good condition. A tear to the lace at the rear has been carefully repaired by our in-house couture tailor and is barely noticeable when worn. It is composed of 81% polyamide and 19% Lurex, with a 100% silk lining. It is labelled a UK size 12, approximately a US 8.
