Description
Set of two paper photographs of Marie-Thérèse WALTER modeling Christian DIOR's short sleeve knee-length sheath dress with an empire waist. The material is gathered around the neckline and crosses over the chest. She is accessorized with matte pumps, forearm-length dark gloves, stud earrings, and a fascinator of matching material as the dress with a bow in the front above the model’s forehead. The other photograph depicts the woman in a slightly different position wearing a double-breasted coat with lapels that extend past the shoulders. Four buttons close the coat with just the cowl neckline of the dress peeking out of the collar of the jacket.
