Feminine, ladylike and sexy, this gorgeous red silk organza dress is from the 1972 Autumn-Winter Collection of the House of Dior, designed by Marc Bohan. It is from the estate of a titled French woman who was a frequent client of the Couture Houses of Paris.

The low neckline is surrounded by a double row of ruffled silk organza.  The bodice is boned and fitted above a natural waistline. The long sleeves are a double layer of unlined fabric with a small zipper at the wrist and they are finished with a double ruffle to match the neckline.

The skirt has a semi-fitted red crepe underskirt with an organza hemline.  This is topped by a double layered skirt of organza with a deep ruffled hemline. There is a center back metal zipper and the bodice and skirt are fully lined in a flesh toned crepe. The Couture label is affixed to a side seam in the bodice.

This lovely dress from Bohan for Dior is in pristine condition.
