I bought a beautiful black vintage christian dior dress, and I'm really curious what era it came from! It says it's made in paris France, made in France for creed, its completely invisible hand stitching, a black long sleeve dress with a polka dot silk band tying around the breasts and cuts off above the knee
Hi Mollie, welcome to the forums. If you've got photos of the dress and the labels, it would be very helpful. It sounds like a beautiful dress!
The dress also has shoulderpads, I've been trying to take a picture but it was too big of a file, let me know if this link works!
The label had me thinking it was from the 1970s but if it has shoulder pads, it is most likely early 1980s. We do have two similar labels in our label resource. https://vintagefashionguild.org/label-resource/dior-christian/ Does the other label say Creed or Creeds? Creeds was a very high end department store in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It closed in 1991 due to bankruptcy. Our member Jonathan has some information in one of his blogs about Creeds Department Store. https://kickshawproductions.com/blog/?p=9488
Thanks for the pics, Mollie. We have a similar label in the LR dated as late '80s, which seems to tally with your dress.
