Documented 1976 Christian Dior Silk Chiffon Dress Set designer-ceil-chapman Elastic in each cuffThis set was photoed for L'Officiel in 1976 where it was shown with a red cape. What is particularly interesting is that I acquired this several years ago and the seller bought it from a model who was often paid in the clothes that she wore. It is interesting to think that this may be the very same set that you see in the editorial photo. The set is gorgeous and consists of a top that can be worn as a top or layered as a light jacket and a long skirt
