A stupendous Christian Dior in a fabulous brown wool tweed that has all the hallmarks of a Dior and still feels fresh and relevant! I would date this as an early sixties piece and you can still see the influence of Christian's earlier ten year reign in that fabulous collar. When the jacket is buttoned fully the collar frames the face an a dramatic curve of wool. The double breasted front is long and skims over the waist and down the hips, curving to give an hourglass figure. The skirt is a simple A-line and balances that highlighted waist line. It is wonderfully made inside and out - the seaming in the inner jacket is fantastic and it has proper finishes throughout. You could easily wear the jacket on its own as light coat. It is a good weight - not a unwieldy when on but the weight one would expect from a suit of this time period. Excellent condition
