A Dream Dress Wallis Simpson Movie

I haven't seen the movie W.E.  but it is now in my Netflix queue.   I can't tell you how I came across the image of this wonderful stripe dress but all I can say is how wonderful it is!  I've been really enthralled by all the details needed to construct this amazing dress.  It is really nice to know that this dress, even though made for this period movie, was constructed in the modern day.  This dress was based upon a Balenciaga design of the Wallis Simpson time period.  Oh my!  How magical is this dress?  How wonderfully designed and lined up are the the stripes on this dress?  Even the back is artistically assembled.   This dress is amazing!!!!

    Is really, really is wonderful - marvelous even. I love the intricate paneling on the bodice. I've never seen Wallis, or someone portraying her, wear something that I wanted to sport more myself than this beautiful blue and white frock.

    It's a lovely dress .. so difficult to get the stripes going in different ways, but it still looks perfect.

    Gorgeous, I love it! Looks like something I would wear myself. It looks like a good film too, so I might have to dig out a copy.

    Gorgeous! If strips are well used, it's so flaterring... stripped dresses are quite hard to find.

    oooo….it is amazing…there is something thrilling to me about a garment that contain seaming with a perfectly lined up pattern. Hopefully it's not just me…

    I watched W.E. yesterday. I wish they would have stayed completely in the past haha. It was an okay movie but the costume designer is amazing on this movie. I think it's worth it to just see the movie for the costumes.
