One of the most iconic photos known to lovers of vintage fashion is this one, taken by Cecil Beaton, of the Dior house models wearing Dior’s 1957 Spring/Summer collection. Silkstone Barbie fans will recognize the style of the green bubble dress in the foreground as the inspiration for the Mattel fashion “Blush Becomes Her.”
Upon seeing the fashion in green, I knew that this would be a perfect dress to add to my holiday collection. Here, the Roux sisters model the gown in dark red silk taffeta and dark green iridescent silk dupioni. I have made the gown slightly shorter to give it a youthful and modern edge, but otherwise all details are the same. The voluminous balloon skirt is gathered up the front and trimmed with a silk band and bow at the waistline. The off-the-shoulder sleeves are delicately tucked.
A large black flower hat and ruby Swarovski crystal cocktail ring complete this classic holiday look.
