This exceptional, archival Christian Dior by Yves Saint Laurent emerald green silk satin cocktail dress dates back to his 1958 spring/summer collection. That year marked a pivotal moment in fashion history, as a 21-year-old Yves Saint Laurent was appointed Creative Director of the House of Dior following Christian Dior’s sudden passing. In an extraordinary debut, Saint Laurent preserved the elegance and discipline of the maison while introducing a softer, more youthful modernity which launched Dior into a new era.

This magnificent museum-worthy dress exemplifies that delicate balance. The silhouette is flattering and refined, nipping in at the waist before falling into a clean pencil skirt that elongates the line. The bodice features a sculpted construction that creates subtle movement across the bust, supported by a fully boned interior corset that shapes and holds the form beautifully. The waist is precisely nipped, drawing the eye to the most dramatic detail: a large-scale fringed bow that anchors the look. The bow attaches to the dress with three discreet snaps and secures with hooks and eyes, allowing it to sit with sculptural confidence while remaining functional. We discovered a closely related dress from the same year, featuring the exact same bow detail affirming the design’s presence within Dior’s international collections of the period. Finished with a "Christian Dior – New York" label, this piece reflects the house’s mid-century expansion into the American market, where select designs were produced for international clients while maintaining Parisian standards of craftsmanship.

Elegant yet assertive, this is the kind of dress you slip into and immediately understand its power. The color is also the prettiest shade of emerald green which works perfectly year round. Whether worn for an intimate evening or a red carpet event, you feel the precision and confidence woven into every seam. Christian Dior by Yves Saint Laurent dresses from this formative moment are increasingly difficult to find—making this a rare opportunity to own a true cornerstone of fashion history.

Measurements
Bust: 33-34 inches
Waist: 26-27 inches
Hips: best up to 38 inches
Total Length: 48 inches

This Christian Dior by Yves Saint Laurent designer dress is in beautiful condition with no rips or holes. The dress closes with two hidden back zippers, complex sash belt snaps and a boned corset style bodice. The level of work in this piece would only be found in couture today. Only sign of age is some very faint wear by the underarms. Please message for detailed pictures. Highly wearable and an investment that will continue to increase in value.

Did they change the formula?
Scent: Citrus + Eucalyptus, Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 3)
I used to love this soap back when it was curved and smelled better. I think they changed the formula with the shape change and now it smells slightly different (cheaper). I can't justify the cost now.

An essential classic
Format: Paperback
The book has a scathing view of nobility and the upper class, with the regular people just a part of the scenery, so an allegory that has aged well and applies to modern times. I think it's an essential read to anyone who enjoys literature, as it can be argued that it's the genesis of many themes in modern stories.

Not bad, but still had flaws
Format: Paperback
While the novel was great in a way, I felt that it was outdated to me. It was written in the time that anti-heros were poorly made and if the creator of Reynard was aiming for Anti-hero when developing Reynard, he missed and hit sociopath instad. The pictures in the books are also outdated and laughable in our times. Reynard looks more like a shaved dog on the cover, I had a hard time identifying Noble the lion in his photos, ect. and the ending did`nt seem fullfilling though I felt a kick of excitment a few times.

Nice translation
Format: Paperback
It is not easy to translate poetry into poetry. It's bad enough simply trying to translate to prose. Ms. Terry does an excellent job. I read Le Roman de Renart in French while I was studying in France. Years later, I came across this translation. It is fascinating the way the original storytellers portrayed Renart. He is a completely hateful creature. Yet reading about him is fun. It's similar to how I feel about stories of Loki or Coyote. Renart is closer to Loki than to Coyote, despite the canine ancestry. He is more than simply a trickster: he is malevolent. If you have an interest in ancient folktales, you mustn't miss the story of Renart. This translation is different from any other I've read. The introduction gives a good perspective on the times when the stories were hatched.
