1952 'Palmyre' evening gown by Dior. Skilled labor in the embroidery of pearls, gems and silver thread. Ordered by the Duchess of Windsor, Oona O'Neill and Marlene Dietrich.

I am constantly adding pictures to my files, and have many on Pinterest by Dior that I haven't gotten around to transferring over to my computer. I am sure I will find more Dior creations from 1950 later. I am already…
