A truly stunning 1958 Suzy Perette dress directly copied from Dior! Done in a cerise heavy double faced satin with high Directoire waistline, attached three looped bow and long looped tails. Wide open neckline and wide pleated skirt. Back metal zipper. Fully lined. There is a wide belt that will be included but it does have some warping to the leather backing. We just couldn't figure out how it worked with the bow!
Ad reads "And this is Suzy Perette's adaptation of Dior dress, executed in cerise satin and modified for American consructions. Belt is wider, neck scooped."
The Dior dress that was copied is on the last picture! This was Yves St. Laurent's first collection for Dior in 1958.
