Cristobal Balenciaga Red Evening Gown

 Cristobal Balenciaga Red Evening Gown


The original Balenciaga red evening gown was made in 1952 out of silk taffeta.  It would have had an elegant rustling sound when the wearer moved in the gown.  I chose to make a half-scale replica dress out of red charmeuse satin for a lovely drape.
