Description: Fabulous 1970's Vintage Numbered Couture Sequins Jumpsuit from CHRISTIAN DIOR
The label is numbered like a couture piece. The explanation provided by our museum curator who examined the label is as follows:
It is a special order from the Boutique floor of the couture house, and therefore treated like a couture garment (not in its construction, necessarily, but in the commercial process of execution)
and another;
I haven't seen a Dior Boutique with a bolduc (under label) but some Dior Boutique labels have a number on the front. I would agree with (x)that this might have been a special order. Generally, the fit of the finished garment was fine tuned for the customer's figure, instead of several fittings during the garment's construction.
During this period before the couture houses had ready-to-wear collections, the boutique garments were not mass produced and frequently included many couture techniques. (This is still done at some houses.) Since they were not fitted during the construction process, they could easily incorporate some timesavers by reducing the number of bastings and beginning with specific seam allowance widths.
This gorgeous piece is made of sheer silky rayon in a beautiful shade of black. The entire jumpsuit is embellished in black and purple sequins creating a geometric pattern of squares. Made with a body hugging fit and mock turtleneck neckline. The jumpsuit zips in front and it has really wide legged pants made with large inverted pleats. The Dior label is numbered which all couture pieces are. The fabric is so soft and luxurious, it sways beautifully when you walk.
Among thousands of sequins there are some missing.Quite a few of the invisible thread that keeps the sequins sewn in place have been snagged. There is also a small separation on the armhole seam, that can be easily repaired. Otherwise it's in great condition and a fabulous collector's piece.
