This exceptional, archival Christian Dior by Yves Saint Laurent emerald green silk satin cocktail dress dates back to his 1958 spring/summer collection. That year marked a pivotal moment in fashion history, as a 21-year-old Yves Saint Laurent was appointed Creative Director of the House of Dior following Christian Dior’s sudden passing. In an extraordinary debut, Saint Laurent preserved the elegance and discipline of the maison while introducing a softer, more youthful modernity which launched Dior into a new era.

This magnificent museum-worthy dress exemplifies that delicate balance. The silhouette is flattering and refined, nipping in at the waist before falling into a clean pencil skirt that elongates the line. The bodice features a sculpted construction that creates subtle movement across the bust, supported by a fully boned interior corset that shapes and holds the form beautifully. The waist is precisely nipped, drawing the eye to the most dramatic detail: a large-scale fringed bow that anchors the look. The bow attaches to the dress with three discreet snaps and secures with hooks and eyes, allowing it to sit with sculptural confidence while remaining functional. We discovered a closely related dress from the same year, featuring the exact same bow detail affirming the design’s presence within Dior’s international collections of the period. Finished with a "Christian Dior – New York" label, this piece reflects the house’s mid-century expansion into the American market, where select designs were produced for international clients while maintaining Parisian standards of craftsmanship.

Elegant yet assertive, this is the kind of dress you slip into and immediately understand its power. The color is also the prettiest shade of emerald green which works perfectly year round. Whether worn for an intimate evening or a red carpet event, you feel the precision and confidence woven into every seam. Christian Dior by Yves Saint Laurent dresses from this formative moment are increasingly difficult to find—making this a rare opportunity to own a true cornerstone of fashion history.

Measurements
Bust: 33-34 inches
Waist: 26-27 inches
Hips: best up to 38 inches
Total Length: 48 inches

This Christian Dior by Yves Saint Laurent designer dress is in beautiful condition with no rips or holes. The dress closes with two hidden back zippers, complex sash belt snaps and a boned corset style bodice. The level of work in this piece would only be found in couture today. Only sign of age is some very faint wear by the underarms. Please message for detailed pictures. Highly wearable and an investment that will continue to increase in value.

Great Toy, HUGE, small dog loves,
Color: Squeaker Matz Gator, Size: X Large (Pack of 1)
For the price this is my favorite toy! My 4 lb Chihuahua LOVES this thing. He is smaller than it by a long shot, yet he loves to parade this around, showing how big he is and can handle this huge GATOR. LOL. Friends come up to the porch, and he runs back to grab his GATOR to bring it up for them to see. Only thing with these toys - for my dog - we have several of these he loves - he cannot make them squeak. He jumps on them, chews on them, but just doesn't have the power. That being said, think about it, he loves the things, I mean LOVES. Sleeps with them, parades them out, fights with them when he's alone, has a great time - .... Evidently, it's me - I MISS THE SQUEAK! I watch him, and root for him, and every now and then (rare), I hear he got a squeak. Still, he doesn't care! So.... interactive time! I go out and play with him and Mr. GATOR, and I make it squeak, and we all have EXTRA fun. Note, my little guy is what they call an EXTREMELY AGGRESSIVE CHEWER. He chews in his sleep (kidding). He's really a tough chewer. He however, uses these more for wrestling, and attacking, and carrying around and sleeping on, etc. So none of ours have tears in them, though he does attack and chew all of it - I think these products are super wonderful, and I have to buy several more, like the hide-a-toy ones (beehive, squirrel, etc.) because I know the quality, I know my Chihuahua loves them to pieces - while he hasn't actually been able to render them in pieces! Win-win for us. You decide what your dog is like. Mine has his snoopy blanket and a huge victory in his mind over this large GATOR - his friend all day long.

Great Toy, But Not Durable
Color: Squeaker Matz Gator, Size: X Large (Pack of 1)
I bought this toy for my five-month-old American Eskimo dog, and he loved it! My dog isn't a big squeaker fan, but he had so much fun with this toy. He played with it nonstop for about an hour, and it was so fun to see him enjoying his toy. Unfortunately, I had to take it away from him because after a while, he was trying to rip out the ridges that line the alligator's back. He managed to rip out two already and was working on his third. I'm afraid that out of boredom, he will try to tear off the rest of the ridges and then the alligator's teeth and claws. I think that I will have to snip off all of the small pieces before giving this toy to my dog again. Even though the toy didn't stay intact for longer than 30-45 minutes, I don't regret buying it. It instantly caught my dog's attention and kept it. This is a good toy. It has 16 squeakers and would be a good cuddle toy since it's soft and big. This toy is longer than my dog! It's about 30 inches long!

Holy Smokes, I Need Sound-Blocking Headphones
Color: Squeaker Matz Gator, Size: 2X-Large (Pack of 1)
This summer I bought the smaller version of this alligator squeaky toy for my large malamute-mix named Rascal. He's a big BIG puppy with an enormous amount of energy. Squeaky toys drive him crazy and he can't get enough of them. The more squeakers the more hyper he becomes. I started looking for the perfect Christmas present for him and caught sight of this little guy. Couldn't pass him up. 32 squeakers! Rascal would faint with excitement. This toy is a little longer than 4 feet long- which is about how long my dog is. It's by far the largest toy he's ever gotten. The head has a rattle in it. And the long body has 32 squeakers individually sewn into their own pocket- so even once he has chewed one of the noise-makers out, he still has many more to go. A few of the squeakers came defective, but I suppose that should be expected when so many noisy parts are involved. I don't think he noticed. The enormous amount of racket he made with the rest of them kept him busy enough. The second I gave him this toy he bounced around like any kid would on Christmas. Excited as heck. He spent a few good hours flinging the toy up in the air, running around the house and yard with it, and just laying around trying to chew each of those noisy things out from the body. He hasn't managed to get any of the squeaker toys out yet- it's been three days of constant play. He spends a few good hours on it each day. The fabric is getting kind of slobber-soaked, but that's presumable with dog toys. His dark black hair also easily sticks to this fabric, so it's beginning to look a lot dirtier than it actually is. But I'm sure he'll destroy it before my inner neat-freak feels the need to clean it. My biggest concern are the felt teeth and claws on the toy. They can easily be torn off and swallowed by the dog. If you want to eliminate that, prior to giving your dog the toy- just take a pair of scissors and cut them off. I just monitored my pup closely and took away the pieces once he removed them. Aside from the felt pieces and the fact the toy attracts hair- I think this was by far one of the best investments I've made for my dog. It's huge, keeps him entertained, and makes plenty of noise! I'm debating buying sound-blocking headphones before I purchase another toy like this again. Very noisy! But he loves it to death, and that makes it all worthwhile. Highly recommend!

My dog’s favorite toy
Color: Squeaker Matz Gator, Size: 2X-Large (Pack of 1), Color: Squeaker Matz Gator, Size: 2X-Large (Pack of 1)
This is my dog’s favorite toy! She carries it around everywhere and loves the squeaker. It’s a great size and keeps her entertained for a while. Holds up pretty well too, especially for how much she plays with it.

"Gator" under supervision for husky pup is loads of fun for her.
Color: Squeaker Matz Gator, Size: X Large (Pack of 1), Color: Squeaker Matz Gator, Size: X Large (Pack of 1)
Fun loving hyper 7 month old female husky whose an aggressive chewer loves her "Gator". She loves the squeakers, does chew on any & all parts of her toy as she like many textures from soft/fuzzy to hard. 1st Gator we got her lasted a few months. She did chew threw a good amount, it did get dirty & most of the 16 squeakers were missing but I saved like 5 of them & sowed them back in. Once she started chewing thru the head & into the stuffing we ordered a replacement & she's so happy. I have 1 picture of the Gator though it might not look like it's done it was. Zero squeakers remaining, head has 1/2 stuffing removed, torn stitches but not enough where the body could come apart. She managed to eat the stuffing but she was not hurtful & we were able to stop her each time. I recommend "Gator" w/ supervision if you have an aggressive chewing pup. It's durable enough for some tugging & "fetch". It advertised "encourages digging" @ the squeaker but she didn't. She tugged, chomped' "fetch" & whipped the toy w her head but had a blast every time. She actively searches for Gator when she wants to play w/ her toys. 16 squeakers.
