One of Doris Raymond's Sleeping Beauties: Pierre Balmain Haute Couture 1957 

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!

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

@@thewaywewore7371 can u attached the new video for this dress in the description section.. Cos it is rather hard to find...

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

You are too kind. Doing these episodes was a way to keep the flow going.

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

I agree that dress should be doing what it was made for. To be worn,and dazzle all who see her.

@@thewaywewore7371 thank you for the lovely reply.

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.
