-SPECIAL- "Christian Dior" 80's-early 90's Burgundy velvet pleated skirt

"Christian Dior"
80s-early 90s velvet pleated flared skirt

From Christian Dior, which has made elegance the cornerstone since its founding, continually elevating the image of women of each era into refined design, we present a truly exceptional piece with a beautifully classic presence.

Crafted in a deep burgundy-toned, velvet-like material, with an elegant flare created by the layered tucks and pleats, this piece envelops you in quiet glamour.

The outer fabric uses a brushed-feel blend of 73% cotton and 27% rayon. Depending on the direction of the pile and how the light falls, it reveals a depth of color—from a calm, dark burgundy-like look to a lustrous wine red with a hint of redness. Even when paired simply with a basic top, it adds refined tonal shading across your entire outfit.

Around the waist, cut lines and tucks are meticulously placed. The flare silhouette that naturally expands from there toward the hem preserves the neatness characteristic of a classic skirt, while the soft drape of the velvet-like material prevents it from looking heavy. As you walk, the sheen of the fabric and the gentle movement of the pleats subtly change the piece’s expression.

Inside, there is a 100% cupro lining, ensuring smooth wear, and allowing you to comfortably enjoy the seasonal character unique to brushed materials. With a size designation of M, it is also a well-balanced piece that beautifully showcases the volume from the waist to the hem.

Regarding the period, the main tag includes the notation Christian Dior PRÊT-A-PORTER, and the quality label shows C-TK-286 along with an older Japanese JIS-style handling label. Since there is no sign of QR codes or extensive multilingual labeling typically seen on current items, it is likely a domestically distributed product from the 1980s through the early 1990s. You can feel the high-quality, precise craftsmanship that is characteristic of licensed products from that time.

With its deep, hard-to-find color and a flare line that adds volume with good taste, this is especially recommended for those who want to bring a vintage depth to everyday dressing, or for those who prefer to create presence through the beauty of the material rather than through bold statements.

For styling, not only can you pair it with high-gauge turtlenecks or a compact jacket to create a classic look, but you can also achieve a sophisticated fall/winter style with sweetness toned down by combining it with men’s-like shirts or leather shoes.

We invite you to take this opportunity.
