This absolutely breathtaking Christian Dior by Yves Saint Laurent blush pink silk strapless corset gown dates to his spring/summer 1958, a pivotal moment in fashion history. Following Monsieur Dior’s sudden passing in late 1957, the house appointed the then 21-year-old Saint Laurent as creative director, making him one of the youngest couturiers ever to lead a Parisian maison. We were thrilled to uncover the original documentation of this gown, one of Dior's key models Odile Kern in the same dress. Further research revealed a closely related design from March 1958 described as “an evening dress in pink orchid silk,” modeled in London. Additionally, we found a photo of a dress sharing identical constructional elements from the Dior's haute couture winter collection presented at Blenheim Palace in November 1958, where it was shown to Princess Margaret. This is a clear testament to the international reach and prestige of Saint Laurent’s earliest couture work.

This archival gown is a masterclass in refined construction and intricate detail. Fashioned in luxurious pale blush-pink silk, the strapless bodice is meticulously shaped with internal boned corsetry, creating a sculpted secure fit that defines the waist before flowing into a full, pleated skirt. At the bust, an asymmetric silk bow unfurls with intention, its cascading fringe panels adding movement and textural contrast. This special dress retains its numbered Dior demi-couture label alongside a rare Dior Ltd. London designation—where select couture models were tailored to suit UK preferences while maintaining the uncompromising standards of Parisian craftsmanship. Most remarkably, the original paper tag remains attached within the interior skirting, an exceptional survival detail seldom encountered in garments of this caliber. To own a Christian Dior gown from this transitional moment is a privilege; to acquire one documented with such depth is a true 'Holy Grail'.  A profound piece of wearable art, it would be equally suited to a curated archive, institutional exhibition, or a red carpet event where historic beauty is desired.

Not new condition; not gift-worthy; no turn off switch
Format: Board book, Format: Board book
FIRST Biggest downfall is that baby can’t just turn the gears and look at the book. I see no turnoff switch and the slightest touch to the gears sets off rather loud/obnoxious and random sounds - clanging & moos in additions to choochoos. SECOND, not in new condition. I should’ve known this when I took the package out of the mailbox and it started clanging (batteries in). Scratches on the front cover; worn cover edges; not gift-worthy

Amazing value for the price - perfect for my 2 year old book lover!
Format: Hardcover
This is an amazing value! My 2yo loves books and princesses, and I am trying to work on her independence (and find screen free activities). She was able to figure out the reader on her own, and can easily follow along. Of course, she would rather I do it with her but we're working on it. The pages are very thin paper, but that's ok considering the price for 8 books. Just might want to keep an eye on little hands. The art work doesn't look cheap, and despite the delicate pages the books are good quality. The reader is cool, sound quality is meh but again, under $20. I wish the box didn't have display holes so it would be a better storage case, but even the cardboard is pretty good so I can make it work. I will definitely be gifting this and buying more for my girl because you cannot beat the value of this!
