Doris' In-Store Picks: Valentino, Missoni, and More Amazing Fashion Treasures

[@ashleysaenz5830]

Content is amazing, but Doris is such a genuinely good human being.

[@juliechlarson9660]

As a 70's woman; I really loved t;is particular episode. I am 73 and wish I had some of my clothes from that period. Love your work Doris. Please don't ever give up.

[@biancanatal1097]

One thing that I love about watching your channel is that you give us a look inside of the garments with comments about construction and the various technics used to achieve the shapes and forms. You're also knowledgeable about textiles-you are a treasure!

[@carlyh6913]

I love the Missoni and the Stavropoulos! You've shown that label before and I swooned then too 💓

[@timsimms412]

Fashion aside I just love listening to you. I find you have the most soothing voice

[@marikotrue3488]

Like other comments, I also wish to thank Doris and crew of The Way We Wore for continuing to post content. Videos on things such as fashion, jewelry, accessories give me a "mind-vacations" away from the stress of reality. With all the treasures in the main store and the fabric section, there are so many themes: Art Deco, Asian, handcrafts, tailoring, gala styles that can be explored. I leave it up to the imagination of The Way We Wore.

[@tabitha4003]

Doris you have absolutely nothing to apologize for! We come here to learn

[@bboyer6334]

Wonderful apology, Doris! It takes guts to do that and was a helpful reminder to all.

[@Cass63450]

I appreciate your graceful apology on the mask subject. Also: Compassion is a revolutionary act in some aspects in these times. Thank you for your great work! All the best from Germany!

[@mariesymcewan7737]

Don’t worry Doris None of us know mask etiquette yet no harm done xx

[@tolazofya.]

I think everything you're doing is just right for who you are. Follow your bliss ya know! Thank you for the content, it is excellent knowledge that needs to be shared!

[@Aryck1971]

Bravo, Doris. Youre one classy dame. You handle all of your interaction with the public in manner that depicts graciousness and respect. im forever a fan of you, your store and of course your encyclopedic knowledge of design and fashion. always a thumbs up. Have a great day today, ok?

[@franciscomeza665]

You're amazing Doris. I love you're videos 💞💞

[@xSanjanaSinghx]

Thank you for your interesting content. I have learnt so much from you. You have an extremely calming presence and it saddens me that you had to apologise when you made it clear that your shop was closed. Please continue to share beautiful things with us!

[@anthonynatividad9741]

That clack Valentino gown is stunning. So simple, but yet soooo gorgeous

[@tompina4598]

Thank you Doris. Loved this episode. I can listen to Doris all day. Each episode I learn no much about vintage fashions, designers, textiles and stories behind the pieces. So glad I stumbled upon this web series.

[@lindas.1751]

The smocked peignoir set brought back memories for me. My late mother had a similar set, which I always wanted to be able to wear. I'm not sure what happened to it, and it wasn't quite as elegant as the one shown. The smocking made it seem very unique, and as Doris says, it offers a forgiving and yet flattering fit.

[@anissaapolinario]

Thank you for bringing us something to look forward to during these times. Stay safe and healthy, Doris.

[@annapantcheva961]

Thank you Doris for putting your time and love into these videos ! Very much appreciate it.

Thank you this show really helped me I lost my husband in2020 and my younger brother in 2021 when i cant sleep i watch you thanks

[@thewaywewore7371]

Hi Peggy. I am so sorry that such important people have passed on in your life. So glad you found some comfort watching our show. I hope you have a good support system. Sending you a hug and sympathy as well. Doris

[@lf3541]

You are such a gracious lady. I have been in healthcare my entire adult life, and know very little about fashion...and love learning from you! I think we should all stay in our own lanes, lol. You owe no apologies. No one should expect you to understand PPE anymore than any person should expect me to know jersey from chiffon! Btw; I learned those words from you, thanks! Stay well!

[@txriffraff]

Doris, I am such a fan. I will not bore you with examples of moments that have captured my respect and such. Just please don't stop.....ever.

Wow... The Valentino Dress with the arrow... And the last dress... I love them.

[@issy31]

Hi Doris! That smocked lounge two piece is absolutely stunning. I am currently a fashion contour student in the UK and would love to see more interesting lounge/lingerie pieces! Studying at home is proving tough for inspiration! Thank you so much for still filming at this difficult time!

[@franklinporter4529]

Thank you Doris for sharing the gift of your expertise. You are a genuine, sensitive, kind soul showcasing the sublime beauty of vintage. These nostalgic treasures are a healing to us all.

[@evettewalker1133]

Thank you Doris for sharing these lovely pieces. I admire you love of fashion and your historical background you give. It’s always a learning experience! Take care everyone!

[@marygreen3529]

Hello, Doris. I’m new to your channel and enjoyed today’s video. I was about 10 when we had our bicentennial. Thanks for a trip down memory lane today by sharing the clothing worn during that time.

[@christa526]

That was ridiulous to scold you for lowering your mask to talk. You were incredibly gracious. As Pikake said, we aren't watching for COVID-19 mask wearing tutorials, we are actually watching to escape from the madness to another time. Thank you for all you do and the effort you put in to bring these lovely visions of times gone by to us.

[@thewaywewore7371]

Christa It wasn’t a scolding. It was a gentle nudge. She was gracious and she is a hero.

[@anastasiosomarriba6157]

THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!!!!! YOU HAVE BEEN SUCH AN AMAZING COMPANION DURING THESE UNUSUAL TIMES. I HOPE THAT ONE DAY I WILL VISIT YOUR BEAUTIFUL STORE.

No need to apologize Doris: You are a Fashion Collector, not a Doctor. So nobody thinks that you were learning us about how to wear a facemask...😷👍

I think Doris always conducts herself with such good Grace and manners, I find it very inspirational, I think it would be amazing to visit her shop like stepping into heaven! I would have to travel to America but maybe one day, I love that these videos give you a little peak, just the pick me up I need and probably we all need at the moment thank you!!

[@FabiWe91]

Goodness, a 20s lounging pyjama, I'd kill to have something like this. Thanks for showing! And no need to apologize for the mask. You explained the situation in your shop in that video and not wearing it seemed perfectly reasonable.

[@mswong2579]

I've been following your vids since I discovered your episodes on the Smithsonian channel. I appreciate your unparalleled depth of knowledge of fashion design; history, culture, craftsmanship and above all artistic expression. I enjoy reading comments from viewers after each episode, you are indeed beloved, your joy of all things fashion is infectious. Thank you for sharing your love of this art form with us, it has been such a treat during these unsettling times.

[@csco8586]

I did not see the episode, but I commend you for humbling yourself and apologizing. I don’t think you did anything wrong, and no apology was needed. You were on camera, and it would have been very hard for many of your viewers to understand you while covering your face. You responded in such a classy way, and showed what a lady you are. Love your videos, and I’m so happy I found them! You are lifting a lot of spirits by showing your pieces during quarantine, thank you!

[@sb9017]

Right! She's not a health expert. Why should someone be mad at her for not wearing the mask correctly in a video. It's a video. She's not out in public. People need to chill out

[@fibonacciam89]

@@sb9017 Understand your point, you are right. The problem is that you always have to think about the people watching these videos and normalizing the wrong way to wear the mask it's an issue. I didn't see the comment and the tone is was written in. Def people need to chill out, but I also found really nice that she addressed it with calm and class, on brand :) So I really think was a positive exchange.

[@dodorik7114]

@@fibonacciam89 the thing is she obviously pulled down the mask so she could speak for the video. who in their right minds would see that and think oh thats how it is worn i will now wear it like that. this hypothetical impressionable person that is so often talked about does not exist. we all have a brain not just experts who grace us with their unasked for advice in youtube comments sections

Please do not apologize for your face mask. My goodness! You were in your store with one other person. You didn’t even need a mask. There will always be “that” person. I enjoy your videos so much. I eagerly watch for your notifications. I learn so much. Who knew I would be interested in vintage fashion?!🤗💕💕💕

[@denisehood4376]

Thank for your videos Doris. We must have grown up around the same time. I'm located in the central valley, northern California, sorry to say I never visited your shop in San Francisco. I did have a very small boutique I shopped at in my 20's. The owner was from S.F. and brought in the most current fashion she could. Found myself always unable to choose, and several pieces went on law-a-way. When I was younger, my mother and I would spend two weeks in August every year in Los Angeles from the 1960's and 70's. Was lucky to have shopped some of the boutiques. Still had one or two pieces from that time period till recently. As I recall , many labels did not have well known names, just the fact they were a small CA boutiques. Would love to see some more pieces from then. A lot were knock offs from England mod era and Italian designers. I was built like twiggy back then, and my mother didn't think I could carry those hi end fashions off. The designer bell bottoms at that time were to die for. Love your channel and stay safe and well.

You said “amoebic”, and that piece really was. Oh my, Holly Harp! I bought something there back in the early 1970’s. Hearing those words really took me back. Everything they put in the front window I wanted to buy, but didn’t have that much money. And granny dresses, I loved them. The lounging pajamas from the 1920’s were fabulous, and right in line with the times having the colors of cream & green. Fabulous pieces, as always. Stay well, we need you out here.

[@MR-jq7bk]

I was most thrilled when you presented Japanese designers. I love any of the pioneers of antifashion(Kawakubo, Yamamoto, Miyake, etc) and their present day counterparts (Wantanable and Ninomiya). I hope you do more videos on those as well as the Belgian designers. Thanks for the escapism you represent to so many of us especially during this tough time.
