The front of the waist has a elastic in it so once you step into it

I love the attached sarong style skirting that gives the illusion of a wrap skirt complete with a draped panel of fabric that flows down from one side of the waist

I love the loose and easy kaftan cut that has little cuffs built in at the side to slip your hands through

the edge of each inner seam is painstakingly wrapped in a thin banding of silk chiffon

Spring 1977 Christian Dior by Marc Bohan Purple & Multi Coloured Stripe Cotton Jersey Dress designer-karl-lagerfeld The front of the waistThis is a very pretty and easy to wear Christian Dior dress from the Marc Bohan years. I just had a black version of it in the shop and it was exciting to have a purple one come in so soon after that one.
