Bodice of Thai silk with sequin embroider. Skirt of silk and gold-meta thread brocade (phaa yok). Balmain and Lesage began making Her Majesty’s Thai national dress around 1963, bringing several variations to the styles established for the 1960 tour. This one, commissioned for an official visit to Austria, adds solid-color Thai silk to the usual brocade, plus a second trailing shoulder cloth and flat, sequin embroidery.
