Hi Dear Claire, Thanks so much for sharing your couture insights, xoxooPeg.

This was such a pleasure to watch, thank you :) I wonder why the exhibition (which I loved btw too) does not have all the pieces you mention.

I wonder do they hand stitch the fabric back together after separating to get the desired stripe effect? I love the tee-sweater. The stripes are perfect!!

Thank you, again, Claire. We appreciate your knowledge and garment treasures that you share with us. 😊

Thanks Claire

Love this Claire❤

I left a comment a few days ago, and now it is gone. Why is that? It was not disagreeable in any way.

Omg I am in heaven! Just discovered your channel and all I have to say is: amazing❤❤❤❤❤ thank you so much ❤

This is a very lovely dress. I love the design.

I talked with several people--vintage dealers, retired curators--about the label. One possibility is that the label was given to dressmakers in another country when they bought the fabric and right to copy it. Another possibility is that it was the runway model and not custom made for the individual. There are so many things we don't know. When I first went to Paris in the early 1980s, some couture houses had model garments for sale in the basement. Perhaps they were put on them. It was fun to look at them, but I couldn't afford them.

Thank you Yes it can be transformed into a simpler design

Patron orgional can also refer to the prototype dress made by the maison to show private clients or tradespeople. It is the model of the patron, being the creative director , and in this case most probably Marc Bohan. Having a number on the label most probably means it was reproduced for sale to a manufacturer, as you state.

When I saw the dress in the first minute of the video I thought it had been constructed quite different. I could not fully comprehend the exact construction of the dress but it was definitely not what I thought. To my eyes it looked like one strap came down from the shoulder to the front, went through a slit in the front piece and from there went back up to the other shoulder. And that's how I would try to make it simpler. The two straps would be one loop and it would need one or two well hidden snaps on the top end of the slit in the front. So you could pull the loop over your head to the front, close the side zipper and shut the snaps around the loop. I think this way you could put it on and off yourself quite easily. (Does this description make sense? English is not my native language.) Of course that's just what I think, an absolute beginner. But it would be interesting to know what experienced people say. Could it work that way?

Thanks Claire, this a most beautiful dress, and like most HC, looks deceivingly simple.....

Thank you Claire, what an amazing dress!

❤

I am impressed with the craftsmanship but seems extremely complicated just for the sake of being complicated and labor intensive. I do like the idea of bias stays to prevent armhole stretching

It was stunning to see the vastly complex methods to produce what appeared to be a simple shift dress. I requested entrance to Sewfari Divas just now.

I really appreciate seeing the insides of couture clothes and the creative methods used to accomplish the design.

Thank you

The construction of this dress is interesting and quite complex.

Fascinating! It would be interesting to see the dress on a body, in movement. The way I imagine it might look, and have the same behavior, I do not believe it would be profitable for ready to wear production. Drastic changes which would be needed would change it, well... drastically. But I am an amateur 🙂

Thank you. Love your book. Very happy you have a channel.

I think it's a fantastic dress! But obviously, it's a very time-specific piece as I don't imagine anyone wearing something like this at a red carpet event.

Stunning dress. You mentioned the first electric power plant in New York but made no reference as to why? Was the dress designed to sparkle in the bright glow of light bulbs? Or did she just request that the dress incorporated the design of a lightening bolts in relation to the novelty of electricity?

Not something i would wear but it is a work of art, absolutely stunning. I wonder how many man hours went into that gown.

❤

Its just stunning.

I believe I have this pattern for the jacket, I tried following but the instructions to me are unclear and difficult too follow, if you are able too make a video making the jacket I’d love too follow the steps!

It is hard--just patience. Keep us up to date!

I'm getting an urge to try making my own version of a Chanel jacket!

Ohhhh, this is fantastic. How rich this lady must have been to wear such patterned silk fabric. I wonder what else she had in her closet.

It might have been skillfully made but it’s an eye sore.

Hi Claire, thank you for sharing your knowledge and educating us about the technicalities of haute couture. May I ask if elastics can be use as alternative to Petersham ribbon for stays

Absolutely beautiful! Thanks so very much for sharing!

❤great video thank you

Excellent video ❤

The lace trim on the sleeves is crazy I can’t believe someone made it it’s so tiny that must have taken so long ❤❤ amazing craftsmanship

Thank you for making this video you are a treasure ❤

Thank you, this video had so much inspiration in it. ❤❤🥰🥰

🌻🌻🌻🌸🌸🌸Flowers on a dress! This woman’s desire🤗I can almost sense these fabrics. Thank you for showing them. 🪷🪷🪷Flowery greetings from Holland🌷🌷🌷

Thank you so much for showing this Sleeping Beauty, Claire. Beauty makes me happy❤

There are a lot of beads. I wonder how they laundered a piece like that? Thank you again for another fun video. 😊

I wonder how long it took to make this garment.

There is no such thing as too much beading ;-D

Thank you Claire. I love your videos!
