Giulia M. Crawley one of the best shows ever. I bought the series and watch it often it helps me in the creative process.

[@lisareyes7642]

I love Vintage clothes thank you for sharing.

[@ladyblazette]

[@vanessar.morales8499]

I’m salivating in NYC! Wonderful finds - thanks for sharing!

[@Kikidevo1966]

You are a doll Doris. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy these beauties as well as all your other items. It’s delightful that you are approachable and obviously love the people you clothe!

[@maggiecorrigan2705]

NEED that Hermès robe! Fabulous!

[@angiearbogast5424]

I loved your show, and I love your videos! Fashion, art, history, culture...

[@johnventrella3403]

Thanks Doris...such an an honor to see your Amazing Collections.

[@suginami123]

Excellent. Fascinating. Thanks

[@francinepuskarich5755]

WOW...I love the collection....that 3 piece with the cherries, never worn unbelievable ...can’t wait for the next episode

[@ursusmega2803]

This is a much better format than the TV show! Much better information!

[@ladyblazette]

Wow that beautiful fabric and red color makes an amazing piece even better!!! I love that play suit style

[@ruthpeddinghaus9619]

This was truly a treat to see. Thank you Doris!!!

[@beckyo489]

Claire McCardell - what a genius. She should be more known. Thank you for showing her pieces.

[@lisalangley1275]

The cherry swimsuit is stunning!! 😍

[@zanyzoo6767]

Its not just the clothes, its this wonderful ladys passion for them . Thank you Doris. P.S.. would be nice to see a few more mens items if you have anymore.Please.

[@DMarie342]

I wish they made swimwear like this today! Beautiful!

[@marylhere]

Editing Donna I wish they'd recreate the vintage patterns. Especially the Claire McCardals. I had one dress that my mother got as a hand me down in 1958 (she wore it when she was pregnant with me...unbelted) and I wore it to work at SAKs in the late 70s. A customer mentioned that she had one just like it in the 50s. Still pine for it....worn to a rag...like most of her designs.

[@amazingabby25]

mary hershelman the McCardels has me deeply interested. I would love to recreate the swimsuit, bathing suits are so uninventive these days.

[@llc1976]

I love your natural hair and that painted chair is so pretty it reminds me of Swedish folk art. Rayon suit!! Hook and eyes!! Omg the diving men are priceless.

[@hannahmcmahon7704]

Obessed with these videos! I believe the gorgeous rainbow swimsuit is by the brand DeWeese California. The designer was Mary Ann DeWeese who used to be the lead designer for Catalina for 12 years before she started her own business in 1951!

[@ringoroll]

I love that rainbow suit! Thanks for adding your information about it, Hannah. 🤗

[@BubbleGumDexter23]

I like the simple approach. You're a sweetheart and still giving us all this eye candy.

[@thewaywewore7371]

Andres Gonzalez Thanks Andres. I appreciate your positive comment and thanks for watching! Doris

[@karid.4371]

SOOO happy I get to see your collection again... oh to be locked in your store overnight... That would be a Dream! Plz keep these videos coming!!

[@mariaramirez5519]

Thank you for showing your collection of beautiful outfits and dresses especially from the 1920s I feel that I have an old soul

[@dmiller5765]

I'm here because of a passion for design reawakened by my favourite TV show Outlander & their amazing costume designer, Terry Dresbach. She took inspiration from Dior's Bar suit for one of the main character's pieces when she traveled to France. I've enjoyed learning from her & now from you about fashion history. Thank you.

[@randydizayee8228]

I love these videos please dont stop doing them 😭😭

[@natalierache]

The red ‘40s playsuit and the leopard swimsuit are to die for. Thanks for sharing with us, Doris!

[@irene_nesser]

That Hermes piece is so cool

[@donnamaciver2093]

I could watch this all day every day love love your store the clothes and your passion for fashion I've always worn vintage even when I was a girl a teen I would raid my great grandma's wardrobe way before it was a thing

[@Ladybug-uf7uh]

You have a very nice way of presenting yourself, what you do and what your shop is about. Lovely items that most of us would never get a chance to see. Thank you for sharing your treasure trove!

[@helenpaton1309]

I'm from Melbourne Australia . I collect this and that. I love love love your channel. Thank you Doris xxx

[@lillolf3758]

I love watching & listening to you tell the story of each piece! You have such a wealth of knowledge! Could listen to you all day.!

[@stephanievaughn5597]

Love how passionate you are, and your dedication to preserving these pieces of art for future generations!! These videos just make me smile.

[@thewaywewore7371]

Stephanie Schwab Thank you Stephanie. Your comment made me smile.😁 Doris

[@MsStash47]

Wow and thank-you Doris! Greetings from Canada!

[@otkud_ja9290]

As an artist myself, I find very inspiring to see somebody talking about fashion with passion and detail. It is wearable art. I love this channel!

[@georgekinsey4132]

I'm late to the comments. Though the McGregor item does look suggestive, I recognized the moves right away as saving techniques. My father was a lifeguard in the late 1940s and would show me how to grab someone especially if that person was in a very frantic state in order for the lifeguard to gain control and swim to safety. I have my mother's 1958 black Jantzen swimsuit in the family collection along with a photo of my father and my mother with her wearing the suit when they were dating. Thank you for the video.

[@sasharose2963]

Doris you are a gem. The way you care about the clothes is exactly how I feel. They are art and to be treated as such. Thank you so much for sharing. I have watched everything I can find of you xx love from sweden.

[@thewaywewore7371]

Sasha-Rose Hartley Hi Sasha-Rose! Thank you for your kind words. I am In the process of figuring out what we will be shooting tomorrow but we plan to post an episode a week, every Thursday. I really appreciate your interest!! Doris

[@sasharose2963]

I’d love to see anything from a historical event. Or time. A war? The titanic? Who knows what treasures you have. I love anything with a story. The 1940s is my favorite era which I collect from. I love to see what they made when they had such limited resources. Have a great week.

[@fortysomethingbadgirls2173]

Glad you have your own show! You have given me an insight to my collection and a greater appreciation for vintage!

[@PolyvoreThea]

Learning the history from you is amazing! Thank you!!

[@choirkitty]

Omg that 3pc cherry set is adorable!!! I've always liked the cut of vintage swim suits from the 40s and 50s. A little bit flirty, a little bit sexy but still even a little bit modest at the same time. :)

[@lizmartin4518]

In my every day life it's imposible to come across beautiful pieces like those, so it's a treat to have a youtube channel like yours. Thank you for share your treasures with us.

[@caryulmer5578]

Liz Martin You should have had parents like mine. Both have passed away now, but mom was born in 1919 & dad in 1921, & they never threw anything out. I think because they grew up in the 1930's they believed in making things last so they always looked after their things well, & had them forever. They left some fascinating things for my sister & me.

[@sampleworks9432]

Delighted to be “stuck” with you 👏

[@leonie8522]

Dear Doris, Delighted to be stuck with you. Thank you for showing these beautiful things, and talking about them with such knowledge and love!

[@jainanovelo4025]

Tha Jantzen, the string cover up, the Hermes pool side. Pure fashion history gold. Gracias Doris desde México.

[@arvinpascual4536]

Hey Doris I am hoping if you can do a store tour? Thank you and more power from your fan here in the Philippines! ❤️

[@thewaywewore7371]

Hi Arvin. We can try to do a store tour. We actually shoot these videos on my iPhone, so not sure how “stable” the picture will be. We will out your suggestion on our list of possibilities. Thanks for your interest! Doris

[@arvinpascual4536]

The Way We Wore thank you very much Doris! I'm so glad to hear from you I'm a huge fan. Thank you ❤️

[@gangbianzui]

Thank you for sharing, they are so cute!

[@pattersonknowles4960]

Love the mini fashion lessons !

[@legoqueen2445]

Love your shows and love your love of fashion!! Thankyou for sharing your collection

[@jayneneewing2369]

Just love the bird cage ‘cover up’.

[@incinc9068]

Wow, what incredible pieces. That 1940s playsuit is in incredible condition, and the beautiful material just stole my heart. And that rainbow swimsuit is joyous, what a beautiful look! Swimwear is not something I often think about - so this was a great glimpse into vintage swimwear. Your collection is so wonderful and I'm really enjoying this format, you, your wonderful pieces and your knowledge is all we need! The cut in shots with close ups of pieces is highly appreciated! :) I look forward to more videos.

[@ZoraTheberge]

That second McGregor shirt is EVERYTHING

[@KTolai]

Love that shirt!

[@steven_ryan]

Very subtle. 😂 I love it too.

[@caryulmer5578]

Steven Ryan It's lifeguards. They're all in swimming positions to save someone drowning & there are also life preservers in the pattern.

[@judywhiting4684]

WOW..just discovered your FABULOUS show...DORIS you are charming...never arrogant..kind and just loverly.......lve been in the theatre all my life....in the 60s l did 3seasons of summer stock...the costumes would come up from LA..one of mine had Jane Powells name in it( l love her).....lve been picking up vintage for years...ohh so hard to find....just love getting a peek at your MAGNIFICENT store...BRAVA!!!

[@omfug7148]

I totally miss your show, and I bought all the episodes that Smithsonian has available (sadly not season one.) I don't need the manufactured drama, I will happily listen to you talk about vintage fashion any time! so happy to find your channel. Also, I used to sell vintage clothing a couple of decades ago (I am still a dealer but of collectibles) my best swimsuit find was a Pucci piece with an early label from his first shop in Capri (I think it was, this was 20 years ago.) I bought it at a vintage clothing store and sold it on ebay to a very prominent collector.

[@ghelaii22]

Omg. Finding this channel is such a delight! I binged watched all the Smithsonian episodes available in youtube and can't get enough! :) Finding this youtube on my recommendations list. Omg i died ♥️

[@brianabouttown256]

OMG!!!! I’m so happy to find this on Instagram :) I loved your reality show and was so sad when it went. DORIS, you are incredible!!! Xoxoxoxo

[@claudiaemme1219]

I love these videos so much

[@zunigae210]

I think I fell in love with the red one 😍 I want this kind of swimwear to have its come back

[@101gurty]

As a young fashion history nerd I’m so glad to hear your focusing more on the pieces! I’ve always loved your Chanel and am looking forward to what’s coming. Hope to visit your store some day!

[@flo-llama]

Thank you so much for the incredible close ups of the fabrics! I could even see the weaves! OMG - the red jacquard! Thought it was super cute until the close up....I know why you love it. It's incredible!

[@brendalawrence7749]

What a fun video! Thank you for sharing your passion

[@JaesadaSrisuk]

That cherry ensemble is utterly darling! You’ve mentioned that you don’t carry menswear pieces, but I’ve noticed that a lot of the womenswear pieces you’ve shown on both “Frock Stars” as well as your shop’s Instagram would look great in the wardrobe of a daring or eccentric man. Like that terry cloth Hermès robe (that looks SO much like recent Gucci by Alessandro Michele) - it’d look smashing as a streetwear-inspired cardigan on anyone regardless of gender.

[@thewaywewore7371]

Justice J. Srisuk I completely agree!! Doris

[@amygraham2876]

Love to you Doris and your amazing eyes and fingers! I bought my first Vogue at 10 yrs old, I understand your passion 🙌

[@thewaywewore7371]

Amy Graham Hi Amy! I hope you have a chance to visit the store. Let me k ow in advance and I’ll show you behind the scenes and some of my private stash. Thanks for watching. Doris

[@sondrapai7856]

Wow, those suits are great! I don’t ever think we have seen your hat collection at all Doris! That would be awesome. I love the historical aspect of all your pieces, I really enjoy all that! I don’t know how much plus size vintage there is, that would be so so so great if you had any pieces for curvy ladies like me 😁❤️

[@RickosaurusRex]

I appreciate you for sharing those men’s vintage clothings too! Those McGregor shirts are pretty neat! I’d definitely purchase them! All great pieces! Btw that robe at the end was to die for!

[@showoff7857]

your tone and enthusiasm radiates your pure enthusiasm for your treasures...brava!

[@thewaywewore7371]

Thanks so much! It really makes a difference to be involved in a business where literally “every day is Christmas”!! Thanks for your interest. Doris

[@vtupakkokirjautuu]

I really admire your work and how knowledgeable and respectful you are about these pieces. It's priceless to get a peek into your collection and the goodies in the store. Thanks for starting this channel!

[@kennethgray9918]

I love the way you have your KZbin show. I could listen to you for days. I’m learning so much.❤️

[@laurelj.5975]

[@chicaarana1164]

Laurel J. I did too. It’s so adorable

[@deeprose4]

Me too.

[@ziggyvonmars]

So did I.. as I do over so many pieces Doris shows us!

[@blaire85]

The Cherry three piece I could see an early Marylin shoot and the Leopard Mesh swimsuit is crying out Betty Paige. Have Watched all LA Frock stars and just adore hearing the history behind the items. You have my absolute dream job, fantastic.

[@suepoch3931]

I just discovered you again!!! I use to watch you on TV! I’m happy to be stuck with you!!!!👍👍👍👍👍✌️❤️ Ps-yesssss we want MORE!!!!

[@cassandraralph5906]

Yet another interesting video! Doris, you are such an interesting person with a wide range of knowledge regarding historical fashion trends! Well done again!

[@babinachakma6592]

Keep up the good work Doris. I love learning about fashion and the insights .

[@paosiopao111]

Great episode! Grateful as part of the audience to listen to all the snippets of facts , trivias and testimonial of how fashion is inter- related in various ways, shape, form, and timeline. Happy to have found your channel, i, don't mind getting stuck with you with all your great stories. Hoard away! Great pieces. the A Listers and other clients provide another aspect of fashion in LA frock stars, like how people express themselves through clothing. But the clothes and your keenly curated pieces of fashion do tell stories. Thank you Ms. Doris, your passion for fashion is very palpable. What a joy!

[@roni5791]

I truly appreciate your knowledge and your explanation of each piece you are highlighting. Wonderful videos.

[@jujuhowell4594]

I love your show. I just love the background stories you tell.

[@aniamunoz1959]

From Scotland I love the era, very hard to find pieces now. I stumbled across your channel, love love 😍 50s 60s clothing, design everything about it invigorates your day, will keep watching thabk you for showing your gorgeous collection x

[@en1909s9iah]

Vintage clothing is an endless source of inspiration! I hope to see more on your channel, any subject is interesting in its own way.

[@pamhamilton3488]

I bought “ THE WOMEN “ 1939 movie so I can watch the “FASHION SHOW (that is in color) on this movie. 1939 fashion was so gorgeous & makes me feel wonderful just looking at the creativity & quality!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR CHANNEL ‼️‼️♥️

[@BonbondeParis]

Thank you for sharing I live for a glimpse of vintage fabulousness!

[@laurelj.5975]

I just found your videos recently Doris, and I am so very happy I did. I have loved vintage clothing since I was a little girl and watching your episodes are a dream come true. I live about 30 miles from your store and am hoping to visit it soon. Looking VERY much forward to more videos, and thank you so much!!

[@thewaywewore7371]

Laurel J. Hi Laurel! Thanks for your kind words! We welcome you any time you can make it. We are planning to post a video per week, usually on Thursdays. Thanks so much for your interest! Doris

[@marylhere]

The Way We Wore where is your store? May have to make a special trip. Studied fashion in the seventies and found textiles and history so much more fascinating than modern day fashion. Although now those fashions are considered vintage. Found a 1977 September Issue and realized I finally got that herring bone Calvin Klein suit thrifting over the past twenty years....and the dye lots actually matched. Not all the 70s were Quiana and rhinestones.

[@thewaywewore7371]

Laurel J. please come and visit us Laurel. We are located in Los Angeles and if I am In town, I would be happy to show you my inspiration room which has some pretty fabulous textiles. thanks Laurel. Doris

[@Rinibottlecaps]

Some of those are so cutie! This is super fun.

[@helengrunow5094]

This was just as interesting the second time around! Thankyou Mz Raimer & Cheers!

[@janohare916]

Thanks so much Doris for your fascinating videos. I could listen to you all day. I've learned so much, and you are so knowledgeable and personable.

[@thewaywewore7371]

You are so welcome

[@kellyfisher4378]

I just loved this collection! Thanks!

[@joanneal6845]

I LOVE your collections of vintage clothing....the materials used and the skills needed to design and sew these beautiful items take my breath away!!! I would probably hyperventilate if I saw them in person!!!!Thank you so much for sharing🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

[@catinbush7817]

The first red swimsuit is absolutely stunning; so is the black one with the vertical stripe. Thank you for sharing!

[@youdontseethisokay]

Omg this channel is awsome. I'm so glad you made it.

[@malb93]

I’m obsessed with those shirts I want them ❤️

[@MaryWehmeier]

Doris, Thank you for the history lessons going thru what you are showing in your collection. I go to sales frequently and always look carefully through the clothing. You're making me a better-informed vintage shopper. Please keep doing this. It allows us to rescue more great vintage pieces.

[@thewaywewore7371]

Mary Wehmeier Hi Mary. Thanks for your comment. It made me smile. We absolutely are saving treasures from the past and hopefully raising people’s appreciation level of things to slow down consumption. Thanks for what you do! Doris

[@MaryWehmeier]

The Way We Wore Doris I so appreciate what you do too. If I ever find something “Doris Worthy” I’ll be in touch. I’m in the LA area. ❤️

[@sharonhyde9761]

Doris you are fabulous! I love this channel! You are so information filled and passionate! I live in Chicago and never really was into Vintage because I can't afford it right now. However I would love to pop into your wonderful shop one day just to meet you and your staff! You really got lucky with them! They are awesome too! You have inspired me to check out some great shops in my area! As far as I am concerned tho YOU are the master! I have learned so much! Thank you!

[@DamianBernal127]

Love the plaid swim suit, very pretty and original. I really admire and envy you Doris ♥️ you've inspired me to look for vintage pieces to add to my wardoble.

[@thewaywewore7371]

Giovanna torres Thanks Giovanna. It’s been over 4 decades and I’m still excited by new discoveries. Thanks for watching! Doris

[@karenwest116]

Hi Doris and lovely team, thank you again for showing swimwear collection. You’re a true historian and I simply adore catching a glimpse of fashion ‘that was’. Please can the sound of the video be increased as I found it rather low volume. I feel this swimwear fashion was far more flattering to the womanly shape - certainly looks more comfortable. All the best for now and thanks xKaren

[@irisiperle3369]

The Black Birdcage Cover up would be great over a different color bathing suit or even over the animal print suit.

[@karen-bethrynk8875]

These r gorgeous! Thank you for sharing them with us!

[@steven_ryan]

Another home run! I loved seeing these pieces! I’d never seen a Cashin swimsuit before, and that jacquard play suit is to die for. All of it is, honestly. I can’t pick a favorite! Thank you, Doris!

[@thewaywewore7371]

Steven Ryan You’re welcome Steven. 🙃

[@mmw55122]

Thank you so much, doris, for launching this amazing channel!

[@ClaireCambridge]

I’m so excited - the clothes are the reason I watched the show! Subscribed

[@angelicar451]

I loved the pink and red roses dress most of all.

[@bevheaslip8233]

I would love to see hats, shoes and bags. I love all these things and would be glued to the screen!

[@angelicamacias4586]

I love this ! I've always been into vintage clothing:) sometimes I feel like I'm the only girl my age that is obsessed with things like this it's such a shame :(

[@thewaywewore7371]

Angelica Macias Hi Angelica! Thanks for your kind words. You know if you wear your vintage pieces with pride- you will have a positive impact on your friends and be an influencer. Maybe not immediately- but slowly with time your friends will begin to comment on how cool something is and maybe go vintage shopping with you. I appreciate your interest. It’s not just fashion, it’s sustainability too! Doris

[@erintahdahhhh]

There are others haha I love dressing vintage!!!

[@quinnbixler2789]

Just stumbled upon this channel and it's FABULOUS!
