CHRISTIAN DIOR 1960s Vintage Gold & Silver Brocade Cocktail Dress

This rare 1960s cocktail dress by Christian Dior is made of a very beautiful brocade fabric in dark gold and toffee brown with silver metallic threads forming an intricate geometric pattern. The dress has a clean and simple silhouette with a short-sleeved bodice with a decorative button panel at the back (with four large fabric-covered buttons, actual closure with two concealed metal hook and eyes, hiding the zipper underneath) and a slightly flared knee-length skirt with side pockets. Lots of couture details like the impeccable hand-set lining, piped buttonholes and internal bra strap keepers.
