    My friends and I went to the traveling Dior collection when it came to town. Seeing all these garments in photos is one thing, but to see them in "person" was truly a swoon-worthy event. The fabric, the stitching, and the details ... c'est magnifique! Seeing all those iconic outfits was breathtaking. My friend, who is _not_ a "dedicated follower of fashion" was quite impressed as well, from an artistic standpoint, as they all were indeed works of art. And the couture pieces were exquisite! This fashionista was in heaven!

    She played a seamstress in Phantom Thread! I knew I recognized her from somewhere.

    For a work that was an effective game changer to the fashionable silhouette for at least 15 years, I am surprised that it hasn’t received more views.
    Love to see her do more ‘unpicking’ of your key works 😊

    Seeing this video, it gives me an idea on how I can replicate the bar suit and how I can create it in my size. With the only difference being the front closure shuts with hooks instead of the buttons originally used while the buttons will be decorative.

      If so, I'd love to see your results.

    The very definition of the couture. Exquisitely made, deceptively simple, very modern clothes from the 18th and 19th century.

      ​@dalhousiekid the use of fabric, construction techniques, padding at bust and hip in the garment were laid aside during wartime austerity. If you look at the cutting edge of fashion in 1938 - 40 you can see the waistline has moved up and made to look smaller by widening, flippy hemline rather than the mid30s pleats. Scarcity of material meant that skirts became shorter - needing at least a quarter yard less material - and short slits replaced pleats, again to save on material whilst allowing the body to move.

    Fashion design/ clothing construction is a highly skillful art. The underlining construction to hold the weight and shape. I adore videos like this!!

    Thank you for this informative video! I really enjoyed hearing about the details and construction from your expert.
    I remember seeing the Bar suit at the Designer of Dreams exhibition; the silhouette and colour-way is timeless.

      It was named after Le Bar at the Plaza Athénée in Paris, Monsieur Dior's favourite bar.

      Apparently, the Bar jacket took its name from the bar at the Plaza Athénée, which Monsieur Dior frequented.

    it was honestly shocking to see the size of the waist of the skirt compared to her hands for example... the person must have been a 00 to wear that remotely comfortably. I can see that the buttons & stitching on skirt seem pulled ever so slightly, like a person was super tightly packed into the garment.
