This exceptional, archival Christian Dior by Yves Saint Laurent emerald green silk satin cocktail dress dates back to his 1958 spring/summer collection. That year marked a pivotal moment in fashion history, as a 21-year-old Yves Saint Laurent was appointed Creative Director of the House of Dior following Christian Dior’s sudden passing. In an extraordinary debut, Saint Laurent preserved the elegance and discipline of the maison while introducing a softer, more youthful modernity which launched Dior into a new era.

This magnificent museum-worthy dress exemplifies that delicate balance. The silhouette is flattering and refined, nipping in at the waist before falling into a clean pencil skirt that elongates the line. The bodice features a sculpted construction that creates subtle movement across the bust, supported by a fully boned interior corset that shapes and holds the form beautifully. The waist is precisely nipped, drawing the eye to the most dramatic detail: a large-scale fringed bow that anchors the look. The bow attaches to the dress with three discreet snaps and secures with hooks and eyes, allowing it to sit with sculptural confidence while remaining functional. We discovered a closely related dress from the same year, featuring the exact same bow detail affirming the design’s presence within Dior’s international collections of the period. Finished with a "Christian Dior – New York" label, this piece reflects the house’s mid-century expansion into the American market, where select designs were produced for international clients while maintaining Parisian standards of craftsmanship.

Elegant yet assertive, this is the kind of dress you slip into and immediately understand its power. The color is also the prettiest shade of emerald green which works perfectly year round. Whether worn for an intimate evening or a red carpet event, you feel the precision and confidence woven into every seam. Christian Dior by Yves Saint Laurent dresses from this formative moment are increasingly difficult to find—making this a rare opportunity to own a true cornerstone of fashion history.

Measurements
Bust: 33-34 inches
Waist: 26-27 inches
Hips: best up to 38 inches
Total Length: 48 inches

This Christian Dior by Yves Saint Laurent designer dress is in beautiful condition with no rips or holes. The dress closes with two hidden back zippers, complex sash belt snaps and a boned corset style bodice. The level of work in this piece would only be found in couture today. Only sign of age is some very faint wear by the underarms. Please message for detailed pictures. Highly wearable and an investment that will continue to increase in value.

Reasonably adequate room divider
Size: 4 Panel-88'', Color: Beige
I'm reviewing this as I assemble it. Couple things: 1. I didn't expect as much assembly. I've ordered dividers before and they more-or-less came as one unit. Sometimes the panels needed screwing together. These require complete assembly and come largely as three rods: two make up vertical columns and snap together. Another one (called part "C") makes the horizontal columns and you have two of these per panel (one attaches to part "A" and the other part "B"). These parts are metal with a plastic shim. Using the wood screws to attach to part "C" is a real pain in the neck. There's not much holding the panel in place so it's a little tricky. One tactic I've found while I'm assembling that works for the initial connections from parts A and B to their respective "C" rods is to hold the screw in place with a screw driver and then rotating the rod around the screw. This will do a number on your hands if you aren't wearing gloves. This obviously doesn't work when completing the connection. Using a driller driver on this is really near impossible because there isn't anything you can use to secure it in place. You can use it on the first panel, but as it gets longer, it becomes increasingly difficult and because it isn't wood, it's really tight. I considered drilling larger pilot holes but since there are only 4x4=16 screws I need to screw in, I just decided to use my screw driver to complete it. 2. Also related to assembly. When completing the panels (attaching parts "A" and "B" to parts "C" that have the cloth cover on it), you have to be careful that when you tighten that side that it isn't loosening the other side. Because the pilot holes are so tight, you can end up rotating the rod, which rotates it in the same direction as looser on the original side. Having someone hold the "C" rod in place while you screw it in is probably the easiest approach. I didn't have a 2nd person, so I just had to keep flipping back and forth and tightening both sides as I screwed it in. Not the worlds biggest deal, but annoying nonetheless. 3. The way the instructions are written, they seem to suggest building this thing progressively; that is, you do panel 1, then 2, connect them together, then do 3 and connect it, etc. I took a different route that I suspect saved me quite a bit of trouble, and I assembled all four panels first and THEN connected everything together. 4. For the love of God make sure you check that the plastic tip is on the same side for every panel. Otherwise, you have to take one side apart again and reverse it. On the bright side, if this happens, you've essentially bored out the pilot holes to be the correct size... which is having me question if I shouldn't have just bored them out to the appropriate width in the first place. 5. Attaching all of the panels together is also an enormous pain in the ass unless you happen to have an 88" long elevated surface. Attaching the legs either requires you to elevate one side, which will invariably twist the inexplicably cheap material in the bottom connectors... or you can attach them sideways... or you can put this thing upright, having two people hold the panels in place while you use the allen wrench to tighten the bolts on the underside. None of those are particularly great options. NOW on to the utility itself. 1. The panels do let some light through (I didn't believe their advertising, and that was one of the reasons that I bought beige, is that I wanted it to not be too dark). They aren't transparent though, so it isn't that far off from their description. They functionally work great, and keep the mess of wires hidden and when I'm sitting at my desk, actually reflect quite a bit of light into my office. Great! 2. My wife has described these as "the most hideous piece of furniture ever conceived of by man." So it does not have spouse approval factor. Granted, she will seldom be in my office area, so that isn't the end of the world. 3. These are really hard to align in a way that doesn't look a little tacky. There are some plastic connectors but they don't do a bang up job of keeping these in place. Each panel is slightly tilted and it's... quite obvious. I may at some point make my own improvements to these to help make them more level. It's not a particularly expensive product so I wasn't expecting much so it's fine and I'm not going to ding them on the rating because of it. All said, would I buy this product again? Probably not. It's assembly was ~90 minutes which is about 75 minutes longer than I was anticipating spending on this (not including the 5 minute writeup that I'm doing here). But am I going to return it? Also no, if for no other reason I'd be just as annoyed taking it apart and putting it in the original box to return it.

Nice room divider!
Color: White, Size: 8 Panel
The white panels are a nice off-white color. shipped in perfect condition. Already assembled so set up was quick. We use them to separate a photo studio from the main entry. Easily covers a 6 Ft. opening to the room. They are a woven material with wood colored sticks to support the weave. They are about 6 Ft. tall at the top of the curved section but less at the hinged sections. Light and easy to set up and take down. We are straddling two different floors so the extended legs at the bottom make this easy. Not sure how to clean them but they look great so far!

Instant Privacy
Color: Beige, Size: 8 Panel
Bought this to separate a ground level living area used as an office. Works well to cover visual clutter; allows a clean look when entering the front door. Comes fully assembled. Hinges are sturdy enough, as long as the panels aren’t stretched too far; have to allow some bend between them. For the price point, quality and functionality are satisfactory.

Great Divider, Just Needed Anchoring for Outdoor Use
Color: Grey, Size: 6 Panel
This room divider is very nice—stylish, lightweight, and easy to set up. I’m using it outdoors, which may not be its intended use, and I found that wind can knock it over pretty easily. Once I anchored it down, though, it worked just fine and looks great in the space. Indoors, I imagine it would be perfect right out of the box. Overall, a solid purchase with just one small adjustment needed for my setup.
