👋 A B O U T

Absolutely stunning 1960's peony pink evening gown by Pierre Balmain and dated 1965. The silhouette is slim and fitted, with an elegant bateau neckline and sleeveless construction — understated at the front, quietly dramatic at the sides. The embellishment is the signature element: scrolling white floral glass beading  along the armhole edges and cascades in twin bands down both side seams to the hem, framing the body in a dramatic fly-away border. A deep slit in the back makes for easy movement. Zips up the back with original zipper. 

 The label reads “Pierre Balmain / Patrons Printemps Été 1965” — this is a licensed pattern/boutique line rather than haute couture, but it’s a genuine Balmain product from the house’s spring-summer 1965 collection. The Patrons program was Balmain’s mid-century initiative to extend his design reach beyond the rue François 1er atelier, offering licensed patterns and ready-to-wear pieces that brought his aesthetic to a broader clientele without sacrificing the house’s characteristic elegance. A labeled Patrons piece is a legitimate artifact of the Balmain archive — collectible, datable to the season, and far more accessible than couture.
