Exceptional Spring 1956 Pierre Balmain Haute Couture Strapless French Alencon Lace & Silk Organza DressThis exquisite Pierre Balmain Haute Couture dress is a stunning and very rare example of what the house was producing during this time period. It is true Haute Couture and has been entirely made by hand to Haute Couture standards. It is from the Spring 1956 collection and a long full length version of the dress was photoed on Rene Breton. I love having the reference photo of it as it gives you a very good idea of how wonderful it will be on. Besides
