Years ago I fell in love with this outfit while I was watching the 1956 film "The Opposite Sex". In the film, Dolores Grey's character showed up in Reno in this fabulous ensemble and got into a fight while wearing it.
Such a tragic way for an outfit to die!
My JAMIEshow Madra demanded to be my model for this outfit.
I found this 1950 Balmain creation while I was going through the L'Officiel archives. It is so similar to the film's outfit that I decided it would be fun to add the turban and muff to "The Opposite Sex" ensemble for more fashion play.
The ensemble has 9 pieces: A knit sheath, vest, beret, turban, scarf, muff, purse, belt, and gloves.
