Getting started with the collection:
Dress with a Tie Belt
Catharina Kruysveldt-de Mare, c. 1951 - c. 1952
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.
