Cut in a sculpting, figure-hugging silhouette, the dress is constructed from a substantial stretch acetate-blend fabric that hugs and cinches the body, creating an almost shapewear-like effect.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe design is defined by its intricate architectural construction: multiple curved and angled fabric panels are drawn into sculptural knots at the bust, waist and hips, creating dramatic radiating folds and a beautifully contoured silhouette. The halter neckline frames the décolletage, while the fitted midi-length skirt follows the body through to the hem. The overall effect is distinctly sensual, with a strong bondage-inspired quality that is quintessential Galliano-era Dior.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe style is particularly well documented.
