Item Details
Description
A sleeveless day dress and belt, circa 1960s, featuring a button front with alternating hand sewn bands of lightweight wool and silk crepe. Fully lined. Labeled, "Pierre Balmain Paris." Measurements: Bust 36 inches, waist 28 inches, length 41 inches.
Please note: two buttons have fallen off, but are still included separately.
Alongside peers and contemporaries Christian Dior and Lucien Lelong, Pierre Balmain institutionalized the style of post-war Paris. Upon opening his couturier in 1945, Balmain applied a background in architecture to the sculpture of bell cut skirts and reinforced blazers, meriting an era of simple sophistication. Popular among Katharine Hepburn and Marlene Dietrich, the exquisite elegance of Maison Balmain lives on as interpreted by Oscar de la Renta and current creative director Olivier Rousteing.

PROVENANCE From The Collection of Doris Raymond
