Day Dress

Pierre Balmain for Balmain1972/1972

Queen Sirikit Museum of Textiles
Bangkok, Thailand

This simple dress is charming, but lacks Balmain’s usual masterly touches. It may represent one of his first attempts to work with the northeastern Thai village ikat that became a signature fabric for Her Majesty, when he was just beginning to explore the fabric’s design potential.
