Fit & Measurements

Sheer Size Guide

Start with the garment. Compare the flat measurements on the product listing with a similar piece you own that fits well. Sheer Fit is an estimate based on those measurements, the cut and construction; it is separate from the tagged size.

How we measure

Measure a similar garment laid flat and gently smoothed, without pulling or stretching it. Compare like-for-like flat widths in inches. Follow any qualifications on the product listing.

Bust — across the garment from pit to pit.

Waist — across the fitted or narrowest waist. An empire seam sits above the natural waist and is noted where applicable.

Hip — across the fullest part of the hip; flowing skirts may be less fitted here.

Length — from shoulder or the stated top edge to hem. Follow the starting point in the listing, especially for strapless or adjustable pieces.

Flat widths are not doubled. A 17-inch flat bust is approximately 34 inches around the garment; this is not a guarantee of fit on a 34-inch body. Compare with a similar garment and read the fit notes.

Body size reference (optional)

These are approximate body measurements, not flat garment widths. Do not halve this chart to create garment measurements: wearing room, stretch, lining and cut vary by piece.

Details

Authentic Christian Dior Boutique Paris silk chiffon dress from John Galliano’s Spring/Summer 2006 collection, featuring the same equestrian toile print seen on the runway. The print reads “Christian Dior Printemps Été 2006.” Crafted in France from airy printed silk chiffon, this piece captures Galliano’s romantic equestrian “Dior saddle” motif with sun-washed gold tones, antique scrollwork, and softly draped construction.
The bodice crosses elegantly at the neckline and drapes into ruched gathers through the hip, tied into a “ponytail” trailing sash. Features a 1920’s esque drop waist. A rare Boutique adaptation of the runway fabric, wearable yet truly collectible.

Composition: 100% Silk

Made in: France
