Hans Sta Maria Hi there. We reposted this video a few weeks ago with close ups. I meant to send everyone that commented on that a note so apologies for my oversight. We took everyone’s comments to heart and I hope you are happy with the new post. Thanks for your comment. Doris
Sandrian Tan Hi there. Thanks for reaching out and I hope you are well and away from harm. This haute couture gem is $35,000. Please let me know if you need photos, measurements or whatever. We did not post it on the website so I apologize for that. Someone had committed to buying it and never followed up with promised payments. Thanks for your interest! Be well. Doris
Laurel J. Hi Laurel! Thanks for the compliment. Stay tuned as we may show you other pieces that are also beautiful in the same or completely different way. Thanks for your interest! Doris
WOW! Thank you Doris for sharing this amazing piece. It is absolutely stunning. Those close-ups were great. What a fabulous piece. I can't wait to see your channel continue to grow and share more special pieces like this, and to hear more of your stories of acquiring and preserving these pieces of art.
Beautiful dress. Close ups as you were describing the dress would have been nice. As a dressmaker would love to have seen the interior finish of the dress.. Really, that dress needs to be worn, in all its glory, and not shut away in a box.
Celine Reid Hi Cèline. We have just started doing these videos and will try to make a point of doing more close ups. The other alternative is to email us your email address and I. The subject line :BALMAIN couture close ups. Our email address is : thewaywewore@sbcglobal.net We store our couture and special pieces in acid free boxes and tissue paper to extend their lives. If a collector or museum contacts us looking for couture or a specific designer- storage is an important detail. If a private client contacts is for a similar reason, if they choose to wear it is up to them. I choose to protect them from walk in clients that may not be as sensitive to their value, historically and financially. My hope is that I sell it to a museum so many people have a chance to see it. Thanks for your comment and interest! Doris

This dress is divine. You can see where Olivier Rousteing got his inspiration from for his collections from 6-7 years ago. He has some fabulous archives to rummage through.
I am salivating. So so good!!! I could spend days in that store! Cinderella should have had Doris as fairy godmother and vintage Balmain as her ballgown!

When she opens the box, my mind goes screaming with "WOW" another hand work of timeless art belongs to the golden age of the last century the 50s. An age of all originals exist in all types of arts from movies to fashion (high-end fabric, chic designs and unique hand crafted styles) weared by the most gifted natural beauty icons of all colors of skin plus the last ingredient of the mixture performance and style

the camera man should have focused more on the dress while you are describing it for viewers to see the details.
true. i expected a close up of the seams etc
@@imisstoronto3121 me too, that is not nearly enough detail, perhaps you can add some photos as it can be hard to capture it with a video, thanks!

this dress is screaming to be on someones body, it was never created to sit in a box never seeing the light of day
ingrid tillman I agree.
Okay I hear you. I would be glad to wear it!! Just kidding it is so beautiful and it would be wonderful if someone could wear it
She dresses celebrities so maybe the dress is waiting for the right person.
Exactly what I thought. Counterintuitively, I near dislike mint condition with such garments - it seems too sad.
Gorgeous dress! Love your videos!
I wish you had displayed it on a mannequin so we could see it in it's full glory.
Dude you're so cute
