c1966 Numbered Christian Dior Boutique Silver Bead Shift Dress designer-andre-courreges Length: 24" from neck toThis extraordinary dress dates to the 1966 collection based on the similar fabric treatments I have found from two other dresses from that collection (pictured here).

The base fabric is a silk with raised circles set side by side across the entire dress.
