Partial view of a bright orange wool sleeveless day dress. It has a clever construction, nipped in some places and full in others whilst maintaining a sharp and sleek silhouette. It has a narrow self coloured belt

An alternative view of the side of the 1960s Balenciaga orange wool sleeveless dress that shows the unusual seaming and folding at the hips

Full length view of the front of the bright orange wool sleeveless Balenciaga dress, from a distance seemingly simple in a shift style but in fact more complex

The construction of this sleeveless 1967 day dressby Balenciaga is fascinating. It is like an optical illusion, with different layers and levels that emerge from different seams and shadows. I’d like one in every shade please #museobalenciaga #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

A mannequin dressed in a sleeveless full skirted pale yellow silk gown with brocaded floral pattern in silver. The fitted bodice is cut below the waist

The masterful maker Cristobal Balenciaga was born on this day in 1895, creator of so many mid century beauties. This is an early #1950s cocktail dress of pale gold brocade, filigrees of silver forking across the fabric #museobalenciaga #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Full length view of a pale lemon knitted calf length dress. It is carefully tailored and form fitting with a rolled round neck and a matching tie centre front of the neckline

Deceptive simplicity by Balenciaga takes the form of a pale knitted calf length dress. Immaculately tailored, it reserves its only obvious detail for the strap that turns into a tie at the soft round neck. 1962 #museobalenciaga #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

A long pale pink silk evening coat with elbow length sleeves displayed open over a long embellished gold dress. The coat is completely free of buttons, trims or other adornment

The gold dress is obviously a statement in itself but actually the unadulterated lines of the pale rose pink coat steal the show. The absence of visible seams creates a garment seemingly moulded in a single swathe of fabric as if by magic. #Balenciaga, 1962 #museobalenciaga #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

A delectable description, this late #1950s Balenciaga is a ginger coloured shantung silk with silver embroidery and sequins. It has an asymmetric hem that sweeps behind the wearer #museobalenciaga #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

A long cotton dress consisting of straight white skirt and a black short sleeved bodice with a pink belt

#Balenciaga brought all of the mini skirt minimalism to a maximalised evening dress here, some mid #1960s broderie anglaise in two tones, bisected with a candy pink belt. I like its apparent simplicity….. #museobalenciaga #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡
