Couture or Ready-to-Wear: Christian Dior-New York

Is Christian Dior haute couture or ready-to-wear? Join Claire Shaeffer to examine two designs from the 1960s. The first is a stunning summer dress with appliques and embroideries and the second is a dressmaker suit with a dress and matching jacket. Claire will show you the details on the inside and of course, the outside of these designs. She will point out techniques which are couture and those which are ready-to-wear. With the help of her friends at VintageFashionGuild.org, Claire includes some little know information about Guy Douvier--Christian Dior-New York’s designer in the 1960s. At the end, she invites you to agree or disagree with her.
