- The near twin of the set walked the runway for the Spring 2008 show for Look 33
- Made under the creative direction of John Galliano
- The Spring 2008 show coincided with John Galliano's tenth year with the label and it was Dior's 60th year as a label. John celebrated that by creating pieces based on some of his signature looks through the past decade.
- It is a set that could perhaps be worn by a bride who is looking for a non-traditional dress or as part of her wedding weekend. It is also an exceptional set for any event and for the Dior collector.
- Both pieces are a pale pink. The jacket is made out of a crepe with a slight texture and the skirt is done in one of his signature bias cuts with a silk like finish.
- The jacket has soft rounded shoulders. It is brought in at the waist and then the hips curve back out for an hourglass feel. I love the detail with the rhinestones and beads that sit at the front of each shoulder and bring the sides out and back. This is a string nod to pieces from the 1940s. On the back of either hip there is a similar detailing that creates a little bit of a swag and detail at the back of the jacket.
- The skirt is completely cut on the bias and the bottom has inset panels to give it a pretty fluted feel. It has beautiful movement as you move.
- Both pieces are fully lined in a pink silk. The jacket buttons to close at the front with fabric covered buttons. The skirt closes with a hidden set side zipper set beside the row of buttons down the side. Light padding in each shoulder
- Both pieces are tagged a FR38, GB10, IT42, US6.
- I see a couple of very faint tiny marks on the skirt otherwise excellent condition
