Excellent pre-owned condition - a few scattered age related issues but nothing that detracts from the beauty of the gown: faint lightening to the underarm areas, a light mark on the side bust over the dart, and a little edge wear to the sharp seam creases.

The New York label is a ready to wear line that was personally designed by Dior himself during this time period.
