2018 Christian Dior by Maria Grazia Chiuri Silver Grey Net and Banded Lace Dress w Silk Slip

This gorgeous Christian Dior dress is from Fall 2018. It was made under the creative direction of Maria Grazia Chiuri. In Vogues' interview with Maria she said of the house that "We have to maintain our heritage, but at the same time, transform it into something that's very easy to wear - comfortable to." The twin of this one was seen on various celebrities and socialites and I love that this shows you how fantastic it is once on the body. The dress is made out of a feather light silver-grey netting that has a touch of a blue undertone to it. This is mixed with bands of applied lace in a matching colour. The bodice of the dress is meant to be more fitted around you but it does not have any inner corset so it is still soft and easy on the body. Instead, it comes with a matching silk slip that allows the dress to be worn since the net and lace combination is transparent. The sleeves sit to just pass the elbow and the shoulders are soft. It has a definite. nod to the classic Dior New Look silhouette. The waist is nipped in and I love how the scallop edged lace highlights the various parts of the dress as it falls over the body. The skirt is cut to be very full. It falls from the nipped in waist and then expands outwards from there. It is set in around the waist and wide inverted flat pleats and these open out substantially as they near the hem. This gives the dress a soft and easy movement around you as you move. If you lay the skirt of flat it is just short of being a true circle skirt by the time it reaches to hem. Under the top layer of a skirt, there are two additional layers of netting and then all of the dress sits over the separate opaque silk slip that comes with the dress. There is a ton of fabric in a skirt. It is very light in weight so when you stand still it falls with just a slight volume but when you move it really moves around you beautifully. It is just outstanding in person and beautifully constructed. The dress is unlined with the matching slip it came with acting as the lining. The dress closes with a hidden set back zipper and the slip closes with a hidden side zipper. The dress came with its original Dior hang tag was never worn.
