Doris’ Gypsy Rose Lee’s Burlesque Gold Fringe Gown, which Dita Von Teese wore in LA Frock Stars

[@thomasofarabia]

Netflix please give Doris a show.

[@ladylibertywdc8324]

Netflix not good enough. Try PBS stations

[@suzannedawson4120]

I can hardly believe you were looted! Irreplaceable things I imagine. I’m so sorry. Thanks so much for sharing

[@hunnyflash]

Oh my god. I'm like in disbelief.

[@VeraHannaford]

Watching the episode with Dita was my introduction to your store. I feel like I've come full circle in some kind of way.

[@MissLaceyNoel]

me too! :)

[@NadiaGirl1]

I love Dita to death I went to one of her shows.

[@VeraHannaford]

@@NadiaGirl1 I've always wanted to go to one of her shows.

[@piano.music88]

Same!

[@ginabattz9716]

Where can you see the show?? ✨

[@ButterfliesandDaisys]

I'm so surprised Dita didn't purchase this dress. From my recollection, the editing in that episode of LA Frock Stars implied that she had! Either way it's an incredible dress. Thank you for showing it off. Stay safe!

[@RB-747]

Apparently she was buying a house at the time

[@LarryOfilms]

Oh I thought Dita had bought the dress, she looked like she really wanted it.

[@tinahighfield2667]

I thought the same!

[@coronajewelry]

I WAS ABOUT TO COMMENT ON THAT I GUESS SHE CHANGED HER MIND :D

[@aam3361]

Yessss I thought the same!!!

[@MissLaceyNoel]

Yeah, I thought she took it too!

[@aam3361]

Girls I scrolled down the comments and someone asked about it and the channel replied - Dita was going to buy it but was buying a home at the time so resisted the temptation x

[@annacimmino]

I'm so deeply sorry to hear about the looting and the damages it caused to your store and business. Nothing justifies this. It is heartwarming that you were able to find a sliver lining in all this (needing to shop..the best part of your job!). May your positive attitude be an inspiration to all.

[@avarosalia4309]

My heart broke when I heard you have missing pieces because of the looting. I send you my condolences and keep up the good work, your videos are so informative and it is such a blessing to have you on this platform. Be safe!

[@STELLA_VELUX]

Omg i remember Dita in the Dior undergarment with black lace gloves she looked amazing!! Also i wish the best of luck to you and everyone affected by the looting you're a tressure and never stop what you're doing!

[@nena.canela3047]

I always thought Dita purchased the GRL dress but I am soo comforted by the fact that this incredible piece of American history is still safe with you and not with the looters. Amazing to see this garment again and hear its story :-)

[@1980lizbethcamacho]

Oh my goodness I'm so sorry that your store got loaded it made my heart sink to my stomach😪 but I'm glad you guys are okay and the store will reopen one day🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

The beading on that dress is absolutely gorgeous!

Thank you for sharing the Glorious Gypsy Rose Lee dress. I remember her. She had a cameo in the movie "The Trouble with Angels" and stole the scene! Doris, thank you. You are wonderful. Thank you for reminding people to use their voice and vote.

What happened was horrible, and yet her attitude is one of, 💫 On With The Show! 💫 Love Ya Lady!

I remember watching a movie about Gypsy Rose Lee starring Natalie Wood. So sorry to hear your store was vandalized and your beautiful clothing was stolen.

Karin Kissinger - I saw the film with Natalie Wood way back when. I loved her, and I liked the music too. Glad you mentioned this.

Gypsy Rose Lee. I remember seeing a movie about her years ago. Thanks for showcasing this beautiful dress. Though it may be of rough construction, the design is fabulous and is an incredible piece of history. Museum worthy in fact. Awesome!!

I can't wait for you to find Gypsy's red dress. I love learning about fashion from you Doris! Thank you!

[@jcook003]

Doris, I have been a fan of yours for years! You spread nothing but kindness and insight! Every time I hear you say "It's me again" I get so happy! Thank you for all you do. I am so thankful for your optimistic attitude after the unfourtante looting that happened to your store but even after all that you keep fighting the good fight! BRAVO DORIS!

[@thewaywewore7371]

Wow, thank you

[@NadiaGirl1]

I hope these looters are caught because they literally destroyed a museum with a ton of history.

[@marikotrue3488]

I love listening to fashion history and acquisition stories. Doris Raymond is amazing both in her knowledge and optimism. These stories fill up space in my brain allowing me to function in current life. I would also like to add, in addition to being registered to vote, if applicable or available sign-up for absentee or mail-in balloting. I always considered voting as the civilized, thoughtful version of revolution.

[@thewaywewore7371]

Mariko True Hi Mariko. I totally agree with you. It’s our voice being heard. Good point and I will add that to the next video. It will bring out the trolls and that’s a good thing. Thanks for your interest and compliment! Doris

Love watching your videos Doris, I cannot believe none of your stolen dresses have surfaced or been found. I'm sure you will be reunited with them. Love from UK. X

[@johannakerns2107]

As a person who has helped costume high school theater students, I enjoyed the discussion of the way the garment was made. Costumes are a different world than couture clothing! Both are intriguing. Also, thank you for the short video of items for sale on your website. It was a good teaser to get me onto the site.

[@TheLilliBlue]

I want to know about the dress you have on. Your hair looks great. The shape of the cut and the color. Amazing. The dress you have on is wonderful. Perfect for you. I am so glad you have the dress that Gypsy Rose Lee wore. I have a page for Gypsy on my Pinterest account called "Your a Gypsy Rose Louise". I was obsessed with her as a young girl. I grew up in Las Vegas. I have seen episodes of her talk show. Your love of the history makes it such a pleasure to follow your shows. Thank you for being you. Your values and love pours out in each show.

[@thewaywewore7371]

Lilli Blue Hi Lilli Blue. What a kind and sweet note. Thank you. I’ve gained 20 pounds since October and.nothing fits me. The dress is a silk - believe it or not - BCBG dress that’s about 10 years old. Gaia is almost completely grown out so natural silver. I’ll look up your Pinterest board. Hope all is well. Thanks for your continued interest and when and if you come into the store- please introduce yourself. Best wishes, Doris

I really want Dita to own this piece...She can preserve it well after all its a piece of History and Art......❤️❤️❤️ .

Beautiful gown! I remember watching Natalie Wood playing Gypsy Rose Lee. And Dita looks fabulous in it!

[@realmms]

🤩 wow!!!!

[@amnaezzine3088]

I believe that behind every piece of clothes, and every detail a piece holds, there's a story, especially pieces made before 1990s, and it is important and wonderful to know these stories, because it tells who we are and who we were, what history of a certain period was and how everything is related, for clothes evolved based on the surrounding circumstances. It would be amazing if you tell us through such videos every now and then on the stories behind each piece you have in your shop, or the ones that you wish to find, and the timeline of it's travelling from one owner to another and how it ended up where it is today, also how it transformed through time. ❤️

[@EagleRockers]

Thank you for keeping the memory of Gypsy Rose Lee alive! I became a fan of her's after seeing the movie GYPSY at the tender age of 11. A few years later I got to meet her and get her autograph, which I still have. I'm so sorry to hear about your shop and hope you're back in biz again soon. Be well, take care and vote!

I wanted to cry when you said your store was looted. I’m so sorry. ❤️

[@julievitous8069]

Thank you for sharing this stunning dress!! I wonder if it is the dress Gypsy Rose Lee wore on I've Got a Secret (7/24/1957) where her secret was 'I'm wearing a dress that weighs 28lbs'. Though the show is black and white, they refer to her dress as being gold and do weight it on stage to show it is 28lbs. Even if it is not the correct dress, the episode is worth watching to enjoy Gypsy Rose Lee's charm and humor.

[@jacquipierce1514]

Hi Doris, thank you for showing the construction of this beautiful dress. ....the back stories re always so very interesting. Stay safe and healthy.

I adore everything about you and your store! I have a suggestion for an episode. Many of us operate vintage shops online or in smaller venues than The Way We Wore. We find a lot of our inventory by thrifting. I would love to see you film an episode of you hitting some thrift outlets such as Goodwill, Salvation Army, America's Thrift, etc. It would be so intriguing to see what pieces catch your eye and if you might find something that you would want to resell. Thanks again for sharing with us!

Just looking at this dress, I can feel Gypsy Rose Lee's spirit and visualize her performing in it. She was an amazing woman. Not only was she the Queen of striptease, but was very intelligent, an author and she spoke fluent French. Her story from her early days of vaudeville until her death was very fascinating. Her sister June Havoc's story was interesting too. The movie Gypsy and other stage adaptations are only the tip of the iceberg.
