Flowers were a consistent theme in Christian Dior’s work, often represented by the silhouette of a dress or a floral-patterned fabric. The embroidered flowers on this dress appear to be growing around the wearer’s body: in full bloom at the top of the bodice and trailing off as vines near the hem. Dior’s expression of the overtly feminine silhouette was embraced by magazines like Vogue, whose Paris fashion editor owned this dress.
