dior dress black Vintage 1950s Christian Dior New Look Dress Black Silk Taffeta Medium – Poppy's Vintage ClothingThis is an early 1950s dress made in the New Look style that was originally introduced by Christian Dior in 1947. The New Look was an attempt by Dior to offer the public something different, after the austerity experienced during WWII. Because use of fabric had been restricted during the war, Dior used yards of fabric to make a fuller skirt, and a womans silhouette was emphasized by accenting the waist.

This is an early 1950s dress made in the “New Look” style that was originally introduced by Christian Dior in 1947.  The New Look was an attempt by Dior to offer the public something different, after the austerity experienced during WWII.  Because use of fabric had been restricted during the war, Dior used yards of fabric to make a fuller skirt, and a woman’s silhouette was emphasized by accenting the waist.  

 

This dress is made with full length raglan sleeves.  The neckline is high with a narrow collar and the dress is constructed in a way that gives the appearance of a overcoat being worn over a plain dress, although it is all one piece, held together by seven buttons down either side of the front.  The “jacket” is gathered in pleats at the upper bodice and extends below the waistline and flays out with two large applied square pockets at either side of the hips.  The skirt is full with a below the knee length.  There are “ties” at either sleeve cuff - I’ve posed them a certain way, but they could perhaps be posed otherwise.  The dress is unlined.

Label: Christian Dior New York Original - In Canada Exclusive with Holt Renfrew & Co., Limited.  The Christian Dior New York label is a pret-a-porter label, but 50s garments of this era were designed by Christian Dior himself.

Color:  Black

Material: Silk taffeta 

Sizing: No size is indicated, and although this should fit a medium size, please note the following measurements for fit, taking into account the style of the dress:

Shoulders:  17” across approximate - difficult to measure due to raglan cut

Sleeves:  22 1/2” long from approximated shoulder

Sleeve inseam:  17”

Bust:  40” around, taken at the underarms

Waist:  28” around, uncinched 

Hips:  Full - meant to hang loosely

Length:  45” 

Condition:  It is in very good condition with no wear, tear, staining or odor.  It is missing its original belt, but you can use whatever you wish and a belt is not absolutely necessary.  There are two buttonholes at the very top, but no buttons or closure - I’m unsure as to what might have been there originally, but something could be improvised.

This is a fabulous New Look dress by the original designer of the New Look, Christian Dior - rare to find in this condition!

Best Frother Ever!
Color: Black
Great little frother and very powerful after just one charge. I haven’t charged it since the first day and it is still going strong after 3 weeks. I use it daily for coffee froth, but have used it for mixing other things as well. It works great on mixing drink powders into water and for making salad dressing from scratch. It’s one of the best things I’ve purchased on Amazon for kitchen tools. My old frother ate through batteries and was 1/10th as powerful. This one really is amazing. Great quality heavy duty but still small machine. Extra attachment heads are also a bonus.

Very good frother that gets the job done extreamly well
Color: White
I hvae used this frother primarily for smoothies and coffees. Each time, it does a wonderful job. Deducted a star for the location of the speed control which is ontop of the device. It's akward to use one handed while attempting to control the speed, athough it's advertised as making it easier. It's not!

Good quality
Color: Black
Have used the frother 5 days in a row. It comes already charged. Fingers crossed no issues when I eventually have to charge it. I love everything about it. It’s worth a little bit of extra money as you can control the blending power from slow to fast. Easily held with both hands to coordinate. Today for a change I elected to just add a touch of bourbon caramel syrup to my oat milk -an excellent choice! They give you two attachments which is helpful. I’m not hard on my kitchen appliances but it’s good to know I have an immediate back up if needed. I rinse frother attachment out immediately in a cup of warm water and air dry on a towel. At this point, I highly recommend. My next adventure in the kitchen will be Matcha tea. I will use the bamboo whisk for the actual tea. If I decide to add oat milk to the top,(such as for a cold latte) I will use this frother.

Higher quality then I expect, very satisfied
Color: Gray
High quality overall, very high powered. It looks really fancy and elegant. The adjustable speed knob on the top is really great. The stand looks really nice but isn't the best design because it is easy to knock over when you take it out, that's my only issue with it.

I love it!
Color: Black, Size: Rechargeable
This thing works great! It holds a charge for a long time. I love that it has different attachments. I use it mainly for mixing powder into my drinks. It is very powerful. The speed is adjustable too. It feels good to hold too. It lights up when you squeeze the trigger and when it starts losing charge, the light bar gets shorter. I highly recommend it.
