- Hello The Way We Wore Fans,
Are you looking for something to savor? Well, in this video Doris showcases her personal collection of Lame garments, fabrics, trims, and embellishments. This ultra luxe fabric was used heavily for garments in the early 20th century, utilizing metals that are then woven in with silks, cotton, linen, and other fibers to create a dazzling fabric that was the ultimate in status and prestige. Couturiers like Poriet, Lanvin, Chanel, and more designed gowns that shimmered from the lame fabric. Prior to the 20th century, what was known as “the cloth of gold,” was a fabric only worn by royalty. There was even a law in England that restricted who could actually wear garments with gold woven into the textile. Early materials of gold and silver were know as assiut in Egypt and the Middle East, which was metal embroidery sewn on tulle. The history of metals used in fabrics stretches centuries all the way to ancient times. The beauty of studying textiles shows how societies and generations lived and utilized materials and how trades and artisans were created. We hope you enjoy this episode.

My students at FIT here in New York all follow you, and are also glad you are recovering. Best wishes from New York!
Thank you for being an inspiration to us Doris. Take care always.
I love how you describe this aesthetic as "delicious" and you do so often as though a box of French chocolates!
Would be interested to see a "repair job" if you ever wanted to make a vid like that. Loved the title pun..funny. Thanks for the photo closeups Mike!

😂🤣😁
Glad I'm not the only one who read it that way. 😆

I think you obsession is fabulous! I love the 20's and 30's. Art Deco is my favorite period! It's so fun to imagine flappers and glamorous Movie Stars wearing these clothes. I wonder who owned them? You are an amazing fashion historian. I could listen to you speak for hours. Thank you so much for these video's. You look amazing! Your hair is gorgeous! Hugs! xoxo
You are a Strong 💪🏾 woman And prayers for a speedy recovery You are so Inspirational, and Thank you for continuing to make videos even through this situation We appreciate you very much!🥲🙌🏾❤️🙏🏾
Doris, you are such a treasure. It is so good to hear that you are doing so well. I so enjoy learning about and seeing fabric wonders in your well thought out presentations. Today I marveled at the craftsmanship involved in putting metal threads together other elements
I'm glad to hear that you are doing well! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
Those fabrics are amazing art and you are a treasure Doris! Glad you are feeling better.

Hi Luke! That’s a very kind and generous thing to say. I really appreciate it and hope I can live up to your image.
Many thanks!

What a feast for the eyes & imagination! You never disappoint, Doris. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom & envy inducing finds. Take good care of yourself.
Your channel is such a COVID relief in it's own way, love the gorgeous piece and your storytelling. Hope you recover soon!
I love the 20's and anything Art Deco! Thank you for showing these beautiful things!
I could listen to you talk about clothes all day 🥰 So glad to have you back safe and sound
Doris you are so very educational You are the gem of LA
Im so pleased you are getting better. Your channel thrills me and is so educational. All i know is that i love beautiful fabrics and garments and your collections and knowledge is a breathe of fresh air for me who is only learning about the designers and their beautiful clothes. Thank you Doris from New Zealand. Keep well .
I feel like I just took a class in fabric formation, Grateful.
Doris, you look fantastic! I’m so happy to see how well you’ve recovered from your surgery!
Always wonderful to view parts of your collection - can only imagine how even more beautiful these pieces are in person!
Excellent video! Love the the teens and 20's and those dresses and detailing are fabulous!
I understand when you giggle at the thaught of you being "normal" you are a pure and sweet treasure to the fashion world and you are what i call "crazyallright" and I love it!
Love love love! This episode, I have had a secret passion for lamè since I was a child, getting lost in the seamstresses house :) My grandmother remarried and had a beautiful Edwardian? I'm going to say style dress that she had altered for her wedding day and it had the most beautiful two tone lamè. She just passed away this week and I would love to have her dress but I have several aunts who I'm sure one of them will claim it.
I was lucky enough to have dressess made for me by a seamstress when I was young but I was aware that none of my friends had that experience. They got all their dresses from department stores. It was a dying trend definitely but really got me into appreciation for fashion and the process of making wonderful things from fabric and thread.
Glad to see you are looking so much brighter and happier Doris, I look forward to these episodes so much. So Thank you so much for sharing!
O Doris! Thank you for this stunning presentation. Be still my heart ❤️
Love your Lame, I love that whole era, amazing pieces...Doris you should wear all your beautiful things everyday, love the colour of the dress you are wearing, you are the Godmother of Vintage...Love from the UK, X
I was just catching up on your last few videos, I can't believe you are looking so well after brain surgery! Your goodness and strength shines through as always Doris, thank you for all you do and the time you put into these videos for all our enjoyment. Wishing you full steam ahead to a full recovery.
Many thanks for your kind words!!!❤️
Doris
I just want to show gratitude to you Doris because your videos are so informative, I learn something new every time I watch you. you're one of the caregivers of history and I truly believe that if it weren't for people like you we wouldn't be able to look back and see all the skills and craftsmanship that has journeyed us to today. After all, fashion is a timestamp of history.
I am reading Thia comment for the first time and and very grateful for your kind words. Many thanks for your gratitude!
Doris
Oh! Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Some of these are breath taking. I can imagine wearing one with the little dance bag to a wonderful party. Doris, my dear, this collection is simply grand. So grateful that you are doing so well. Keep chuggin’!
Doris my fascination with lame started as a child. I grew up in Australia in the biggest tourist hot spot in the country back then called Surfer’s Paradise on the Gold Coast. The council brought in paid parking via parking metres in the mid 1960s. Local businesses got together to figure out how to get around this problem so they employed beautiful young women, put them in gold lame bikinis & gave them each a bucket of 6 pence coins and they would walk around town in twos putting the coins in the parking metres & topping them up. It would never fly today of course but those girls looked so glamorous when I was small. 😂 and the business owners were happy, the girls were happy- they became nationally famous initially and then icons, the tourists were happy because they didn’t have to worry about a fine & the council was sort of happy. So gold lame = glamour & happy to me.
Michele Graham I remember too
@@stephanierichards1096 did you grow up or holiday at Surfers back then too?
@@michelegraham9044 holidays, grew up in Sydney. I love Surfers still.
So happy to hear your doing better. You are so kind to share these videos of your collections and your knowledge😊❤! Youare truly a wonder woman❤❤❤
So glad you are succesfully on the road to recovery! We really enjoy your channel and are so thrilled to see that we arent the only ones crazy for glam! Keep on shining dear Doris! We love you!

So glad you are doing great. Love your vlogs, l have learned, through you, how to really look and appreciate not just vintage clothing, but what I currently own. Thank you Doris!
Thanks Diana. That makes me feel really good. 😁
Doris
i gasped with the boddess and the black sleeves it's truly gorgeous
Love to see those vintage clothes
Wow 👏👏👏😃👍
The joy you have in the gorgeous pieces you are showing is contagious. Thank you for sharing. So happy that you are doing so well, continued love and support sent your way. Take care.
Thank you Doris, good to see you looking so great. Especially loved this one as I have an interest in the design from the early part of the 20C, clothes so distinct in form and fabric ❤
phenomenal as always, doris is the glamorous, emotionally generous aunt we all want
Actually, Doris I think that a collection is an obsession....Ive just watched some of your videos, and Im very impressed and surprised in the best way....I dare myself to tell openly and directly yet with hole and total respect that if you ever need someone to design or create, trust to....I'll be delighted and its mainly because of passion of creation and expression of a vision through body and clothing that I say all this ...its beautiful watching, finding, discovering this becase I felt attracted to your charm and knowledge, passion and honesty.
cheers DORIS IM KNDRGRDN FRNNDO
I JUST LOVE TO IMAGINE
Absolutely adore you Doris. I'm not even very interested in clothes but you make it an appreciation of art. Xx
Wow- what a sweet and touching comment. Thank you!!
Is that a dog in your profile? If so- OMG!!
😁Doris
@@thewaywewore7371 It's a guinea pig 😂
Doris, I think you are a wonderful teacher and I enjoy your videos. I am a teacher and I can see the fashion design students at both secondary and post secondary learning and enjoying your information. You are recovering very well and you look beautiful in your blue lame dress.
Amazing video it is like having history interwoven with fabrics and fashion in one episode. Thanks doris
So glad you're well on the mend.
Way back in the day when I wore a lot of late 50s, early 60s clothes I had a fabulous emerald green boned bodice cocktail dress with bright pink lamé flowers. I sold it for next to nothing and it haunts me to this day. I so so wish I'd never let it go, wouldn't have fitted me now but it was stunning.
Happy Easter, Doris! So good to see you and you look great! Loved this episode! Looking forward to many more!
WIshing you good health and a quick, full recovery. I’ve learned a great deal about vintage clothing from you. Best wishes to you Doris.
You look wonderful, Doris, I love to see you doing what you love!
Wow you looks so much better from the last time!
I'm happy for you Doris! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻♥️
So good to see you Doris, looking wonderful as always! This vid is interesting and instructive , thanks again for sharing your beautiful obsession!
You look fabulous Doris! So happy to hear your recovery is going smoothly.
I so love that you redesign and repurpose .. we need to do this to treasure and clean up the planet using recycling strategies. I’d love to see you take us through what it takes to redesign and restore these garments
Thankyou and all the very best to your recovery

That was a speedy recovery, I’m so glad. Love the halter neck 30’s gown and the silver non-tarnished lace, so beautiful!
😱 😱 😳 I never knew about Lame until now. I’m in.
I like the hostess pajamas. Maybe the Flapper pinned something on the waist and caused the hole. Love your bracelet Doris. The sixties lurex Japanese fabric outfit is beautiful.
You are gold. And thanks for giving us a peek into the world of Hollywood glamour. 😎

AROHANUI xx
Always enjoyable!
Idea!!💡
I realize it’s hard to do ‘in person’ shopping during the pandemic but if you do have any opportunity to film one on one client time, at the store, that is always fascinating. And, we get to shop vicariously!
"I stole the stole from the store" LOL Ms.Doris!
I LOVE the 1920s styles!
Love your videos. Your voice is really soothing. Hugs from Argentina, South America.
I whole Art Deco video would be awesome, wish fashion history and lots of pieces to look at
You look and sound great and your not looking at your notes as before means you really are 95% on your road to recovery!! Love all your vids!!!!
I am working on it Christopher. Thanks so much. ❤️
Doris
Hi Doris, I'm happy you doing very very well. You taught me a new fabric here and it's called lame. Thanks
I just admire you more than you know. I also archive, collect, and love to wear vintage. I'd love to know the ways you repurpose things that can now longer be worn as they were once intended- and how you incorporate them into your working wardrobe. Continue to thrive and prayers you will be better and better forever!
Hi Judith! I don’t have time to repurpose but am collecting the trims and fabrics I want to work with. It appears that this direction will happen when I am partially retired. Maybe I will surprise myself and just do it!
Doris, so good to see you looking so well and doing what you do best. A fascinating video. Lots of best wishes from NZ x
So glad that your getting better take care we love you 🥰
You have been such an inspiration during tough times. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and it is wonderful to see you back! Wishing you a complete recovery.
😊
Another fantastic session - you are the queen! Good to see that you are getting better.
I am coming out to your studio as soon as the country goes back to safe travel
The drop waists 😍
And of course love the shine from the fabrics
Thank God for your health, I love your channel, and I'm fascinated by those clothes, I wish I'd had to live at that time and wear everything. That, greetings from Mexicali, Mexico
You look fantastic and that dress looks amazing on you. Beautiful shade of blue. You're a trooper in your lamé dress!
❤️❤️❤️. This was wonderful! Thanks Doris! One day I hope to make a pilgramage to your store, once the world is on it's feet again!
Glad you're feeling much better. Your fans are rooting for you!
I'm happy to hear you're doing well 😊💕
What an education. Love that color blue on you. On my bucket list is a trip to your store.
Doris, we adore you! Lots of kisses from Brazil!
