  1. Oh god that butterfly dress is incredible!! Also I am completely in love with the 50s red Dior dress.

    The trim on that dress really is spectacular and I love the idea of bringing back hoop pockets.. (I am all for dressing like the 1700s everyday except I think I would miss my sweat pants..)

  2. I saw this exhibit and I am surprised that they did not include the black velveteen gown by Balenciaga in the on line pictures. I thought it spectacular in its simplicity. I met a woman there who had been a model for Claire McCardell and she agreed with me that this was one of the best in the show.
