About this work
This dress was presented in Paris in 1951 as part of the fashion designer Balenciaga’s winter collection. Mrs Brusse probably bought the showroom model in Amsterdam from Catharina Kruysveldt-de Mare. Mrs Brusse had a good figure and kept a hand on the purse-strings; she therefore bought marked down showroom models.
