Amazing early Pierre Cardin mod shift dress down in a deep blue wool. One of his most iconic designs this dress features a round cut out at the neck and circular cut outs that ring the entire hem! Each of those circles is created by stamping out the fabric which was then folded back by hand and stitch behind each center of each circle. The now set at the neck is done in a contrasting silk satin and is set at the top of the key hole there. The construction of this dress is amazing - it has a double zipper at the back and the lining is set by hand. A study in dressmaking techniques it is absolutely wonderful! It is very rare, very couture and very special. Mint condition. Item# DD731
