SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE
Dresses With Paris Labels
Costly in Both
Br BARBARA MILLER
United Press Correspondent
Paris (U.R) Art lovers can
have their Mona Lisa: What
most American women want
from Paris is a dress with a
Paris label.
Even when prices range up to
$2000, which is what Christian
Dior charges for a "prestige"
gown, and even when shopping
and fittings take up time that
might have been meant for
sightseeing.
Buying a frock in a fashion
salon such as Christian Dior's
can deal as seriojs a blow to a
vacation schedule as it does to a
bank account.
At Chez Dior, creations start
at about S200 and go up to
S2000. But before a customer
even thinks about buying she
settles down for a showing of
Dior's collection, which takes
most of an afternoon.
Keeps Score
Black gowned saleswomen
hand out cards and pencils so the
shoppers can put down the num
bers of dresses she likes. After
a fashionable 20-minute delay,
the show starts. Salesgirls call
out numbers and names in
charming accents. Stone - faced
Dior models, chic and aloof, whip
by in suits and coats, furs and
hats, and dresses for all hours.
After a couple of hours, the
dazzled customer can try on the
dresses she is interested in or see
them again on a model.
When she chooses one she
signs an order slip, decides on
the color, has her measurements
taken and sets up an appoint
ment schedule for fittings.
Slight Delay
She is told she has to wait 15
days for her dress. Even with
4 workrooms going full blast,
Dior cannot turn out a dress in
less than 15 days.
Fittings are serious affairs.

There is a head fitter, and a sec
ond fitter. Husbands and friends
are urged to come. Their com
ments, though in the nature of
backseat driving, are considered
valuable.
For delivery of the finished
product Dior has four small
trucks, including one armor for
delivering furs. To be sure ma
dame has her dress for the oc
casion desired, deliveries are
made even on Saturday and Sun
day, an unusual effort for the
French.
