The film was originally commissioned as part of an exhibit at the Royal Ontario Museum, and a crew filmed the entire making of a dress from start to finish. The design was from Galliano&#8217;s last collection for Dior, and all during the film I kept wishing I could stop the progress and get closer to the action to see exactly what the tailors and petites mains were doing at each step along the way. It&#8217;s such an incredible, painstaking process to construct a couture garment. This dress took over 500 hours and 166 metres (181 yards) of silk faille and tulle to construct. But to see the amount of labor and dedication involved really gave me a new understanding of couture. Here&#8217;s an image of the finished dress, which is named Passage #5.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/oliverands.com\/community\/content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/galliano-for-dior-spring-2011.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-43189\" src=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/galliano-for-dior-spring-2011-534x800.jpg\" alt=\"galliano for dior spring 2011\" width=\"534\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/galliano-for-dior-spring-2011-534x800.jpg 534w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/galliano-for-dior-spring-2011-183x275.jpg 183w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/galliano-for-dior-spring-2011.jpg 683w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 534px) 100vw, 534px\" \/><\/a><em>photo from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.style.com\/slideshows\/fashion-shows\/spring-2011-couture\/christian-dior\/collection\/5\" target=\"_blank\">Style.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, the complete film isn&#8217;t being shown to the general public.
