I thought you might all enjoy a peek at this recent donation we received of a Jean Louis evening gown, It was mailed to us in a box, with no note just a return address. It is in impeccable condition and just stunning. It has a built-in crinoline attached to a boned waistband

Stunning, and thanks for sharing it with us. I am friends with someone who is currently writing the authorized biography of Jean Louis. Would you allow me to share 1 or more of your photos with her, or if she has an interest in the construction details may she contact you? If not, I understand.

It is a wonderful donation.
 
Barbara, I have two Jean Louis pieces your friend might be interested in. One is a white pique haltar evening gown. The other has a leotard top with a lace ruffle and a separate lace skirt. Supposedly, it was Mary Martins, but I don't think so the skirt is too long for me and I think she was shorter..

The leotard top is interesting. It's an actual leotard; the lace ruffle snaps on part of the neckline so you can get it on and off.

I used to see Jean Louis at acupuncture. Sadly, he already had alzheimers, but Loretta Young sometimes brought him. No, I didn't talk to her. I'm much too shy and it wasn't the right place.
