Size: large

Condition: excellent

This ultra seductive Christian Dior by John Galliano black stretch-knit ruffle trimmed dress dates back to his 2004 fall/winter collection. This 'little black dress' captures the intoxicating blend of technical mastery and sensual drama that defined Galliano’s tenure at the house. During his years as creative director, Galliano transformed Dior into a playground of fantasy, theatrics, and innovation, leaving a legacy that still shapes the vocabulary of modern fashion.

Crafted from a jet-black stretch viscose knit, the dress hugs the body with that unmistakable Galliano precision—contouring every curve while still feeling fluid and effortless. The construction is particularly beautiful: angled, overlapping panels wrap around the body in a subtle rhythmic pattern. Wide, clean straps frame a softly scooped bustline that gives the low neckline a quiet sensuality silhouette. And then comes the real magic—the lower skirt, where cascading layers of airy silk-chiffon ruffles spill downward in asymmetric tiers, adding texture with each step. Though not a documented runway piece, it absolutely carries that signature 'Dior by Galliano' allure: flattering, sultry, and unmistakably chic.
