Circa 1965

France

Evening bolero in powder pink silk crepe by Marc Bohan for Christian Dior, numbered 23343 and dating from the 1960s. Straight cut, crew neck and long sleeves, fully embroidered around the edges. Rich embroidery, probably by Swarovski, featuring bouquets of round and tubular translucent glass beads. Silver tones thanks to marcasite beads, white lace for the leaves and diamond-cut glass cabochons. Bolero fully lined, hand-finished, in powder pink silk pongee with woven label bearing the words Boutique Christian Dior Paris n°23343, Made in France. A very slight period patina to note with rare and tiny, barely visible stains, as well as a few missing beads. No major flaws. Good overall condition in terms of colour and preservation.

Dimensions: Equivalent to size 38 in France. Shoulders 39 cm, sleeves 54 cm, chest 90 cm, waist 70 cm, height 50 cm.
