“It’s such a new look!” exclaimed Bazaar Editor-in-Chief, Carmel Snow, about Christian Dior's debut collection in 1947 which launched the fit and flare dress silhouette. The Bar Suit returned femininity to women's clothing in the post-WWII era and launched a global fashion revolution.

Why we love it:
  • Everyone needs that perfect little black dress with pockets that works for any occasion.
  • The outer fabric is a silk-wool which is as luxurious as it is versatile. It elevates the even most simple design, which is probably why it was Jackie Kennedy's go-to fabric during her White House years.
  • It’s the perfect black dress to wear to work and for an evening out with a quick swap of your accessories.
  • The hidden side-seam pockets in this 50s style dress will comfortably hold an iPhone Plus without ruining the line of the dress.
Fit notes and construction details:
  • A-line pleated dress with pockets.
  • Piping detail at waist and faced hem with couture style inside lace detail covering hem.
  • Side darts provide shape to the bodice. (Note: this style is made from silk-wool and does not contain any stretch materials.)
  • Lining is 100% silk.
  • The bodice and waist are fitted, so please mind our size guide when selecting your size. We do not do vanity sizing, therefore one might feel we run small. If you are on the border, we recommend sizing up.
  • Made in Los Angeles

  • **Note: Final sale items can only be returned for store credit. See Delivery & Returns page for full details.**
Styling ideas:
  • You can change up the look of this dress with the Coco or Jackie removable collar.
  • The piping which defines the waist enables you to style the dress on its own or by adding a belt or scarf.
  • Pair with a jacket and pearls for the day, or your favorite sparkly stilettos for an evening look.

Inspiration:

Gamine supermodel Twiggy, neé Lesley Lawson, was face of London's swinging Mod sixties and inspiration behind our mod-style dress. The a-line silhouette was first introduced by YSL in his 1958 collection for Christian Dior, but later designers pared down the styles to create the minimalist, modern classic styles we associate with 1960s Mod fashion icons like Twiggy.

Why we love it:
  • If we had to pick one word to describe the Lawson shift dress it;s ease. The a-line shape of the Lawson is forgiving and comfortable, but the crisp clean lines keep the iconic style supremely elegant.
  • It's the perfect black dress to wear to work and can be worn for an evening out with a quick swap of your accessories.
  • And who doesn't love a cocktail dress with pockets? The hidden side seam pockets comfortably hold an iPhone Plus without ruining the line.
  • The outer fabric is a lustrous silk-wool which is as luxurious as it is versatile. It elevates the even most simple design, which is probably why it was Jackie Kennedy's go-to fabric during her White House years.
Fit notes and construction details:
  • A-line shift dress with pockets.
  • Invisible back zip with hook & eye closure.
  • Knee-length.
  • Lined with 100% silk in scarlet red. This style does not contain any stretch materials. Please mind our size guide when selecting your size. If your bust is on the border or if you have wider shoulders, we recommend sizing up. We do not do vanity sizing, therefore one might feel we run small.

Styling ideas:
  • You can change up the look of this dress by adding the Coco or Jackie removable collar, an accessory common in 1960s haute couture.
  • The Lawson dress works as a cocktail dress with heels as pictured, but it can be worn with ballet flats or sandals for a more casual look.
