If I could purchase anything it would be from Vicky Jaggers video I loved her style otherwise I would just be happy with anything knowing it came from Doris and The Way We Wore!
I would LOVE to be able to shop with Doris! The bullion embroidered brocade gown from a prior episode was so gorgeous, as is the Celine coat from this episode! 🥰
I would love to buy things for my best friend and also sister (as I’m a man) and fabulous shoes for them. Choosing pieces they’ll specifically love brings me immense joy
I've never clicked so fast. The Queen's Gambit was one of the best things I've watched in a long time, so I am thrilled that you did this video. I'm in the UK so not sure if I'm eligible for the giveaway or not, but if I am, then I am obsessed with the Moschino maid in italy dress x
Not entering contest, just thanking you for another wonderful episode and riding through these rough times. I have family in California and miss my home state. Not much better here in Oklahoma.
Oh my goodness, how to even choose?! I would have to say the Red Va Va Voom Pleated Strapless 1950’s dress. It’s my EXACT measurements and is jaw dropping. It’s the sort of thing I could never justify buying but want so badly! But honestly I would take ANYTHING from your store!!
Wow what an amazing opportunity, I have been watching you for a few years now when I accidentally discovered the Smithsonian channel. You and your team perfectly encapsulate why I and so many love fashion, for the rich history and fabulous pieces of art. Sadly I live in England BUT your store in LA is on my bucket list so hopefully I can make it there one day. That does not however stop me form virtual window shopping as I often imagine what I would buy to wear for events like the Oscars ( a girl can dream). I cant imagine winning but... the 90S VALENTINO INTRICATELY BEADED CHINOISERIE SHELL TOP or the VINTAGE BLASS 80S VELVET RHINESTONE STRAPLESS GOWN would be pieces of art that I would be honoured to wear. Good luck to everyone! :)
Beth's chess themed outfits with the checks and plaids are so clever and sharp. I shouted at the screen like a child when she wore white queen outfit! I've been obsessing over edwardian fashion lately so I would use the gift card to oogle some beautiful lace!
Hi! I just want to say I love this channel so much! If I had the gift card no question I would purchase the Georgia Keyloun 60S Gold Lurex Palazzo Jumpsuit! You know that moment when you see an outfit and it just speaks to your soul and makes you feel really warm inside but also gives you butterflies? That’s how I felt when I saw the jumpsuit on your website. I’ve never been very brave when it comes to fashion but this piece feels like it was created for the boldest version of me! Anyway thanks for the video and stay safe everyone!
I love your channel and genuinely find it so relaxing listening to you as you educate and show off! If I won I would be happy with a vintage bag! Thank you for hosting!
That green plaid debutante dress is absolutely beautiful! I can totally see Beth wearing that! I would probably buy something like that if I was in the store - A lovely 50's or 60's style party dress! :)
Wow! $500 to the store... I can only imagine what to buy. I'd hope to get a vintage leather jacket for my 15 yr old daughter, she really really wants one. Cropped, not necessarily moto but possibly, maybe aviator. If that would not be possible.... Vintage Chanel. Really can't go wrong there!
I am an ardent fan of Vintage Whiting Davis, and believe their USA made-era evening bags remain 'under the radar' for collectors, especially in the United States where they're still rather plentiful, as they were THE go-to bag of our grandmothers for a swank night on the town. The trick (for me) is seeking ones which are not only in mint condition, but also large enough to hold a modern-day cell phone, since the vast majority of them were made to hold little more than a lipstick, comb and mirror. LOL I believe these to be unique 'little treasures' which are fun to carry on a night out, and make for wonderful gifts. Several years ago on ebay, I lusted after one from the 1950's, never used-- stunning black beading over gold lame--in the shape of a Kelly Bag!! Alas, I could not bid, as I had to choose between IT or a much-needed new set of tires for my car.... a herculean effort to squash my 'material girl' on that one! Even with my narrow criteria, there remain many with uber cool details, and I truly see them as little U.S. works of art, from a bygone time. :) :)
I totally loved the Queen's Gambit. I was think of you Doris during every episode. I very much interested in vintage scarves. I like to wear them as a head wrap which looks like a big trend for the coming year.
Ok, I hate and LOVE your store! First off I do not have the budget to be shopping here yet found myself randomly scrolling and couldn't stop imagining how each item will look. It was really fun imagining having the money to buy a item and honestly couldn't decide on just one. So saving myself the struggle of picking one I have a list. Sigh... I know my chances are low in this giveaway and honestly fine with that. The fun of spending $500 imaginary dollars on a item of my choice made my night better. I love all these items and if i did win would pick one. But for now I'll leave them up for others to check out. Just a few of my favorites: 40S HAWAIIAN BLUE PINEAPPLE PRINT RAYON PAKE MUU DRESS or the DELISS 60'S BROWN VELVET POLKA DOT GOWN or the RONCELLI 70S BLUE HIPPIE WESTERN JACKET WITH LEATHER DETAILING or the 70S BUMBLEBEE APPLIQUE LINEN MAXI DRESS WITH TRUMPET SLEEVES or the 70S IVORY LACE GOWN WITH PINK UNDERLAY or the 40S DRESSING GOWN RED AND BLACK PLAID
oh my gosh, there are so many fun vintage pieces that I have my eye on. I love the Antonella Ore black 80s sweater, the Continental fringe jacket - and as a journalist I would die to get my hands on that 1970s newsprint blouse! I love your store so much and these videos.
I loved the Queen's Gambit, and your episode about the costumes through the decades. My all-time favorite (very hard to choose), episode is the one you did about Moira Rose. Schitt's Creek brought us a lot of relief during the pandemic. I have looked at the YSL 80S BLACK SHORT SLEEVED EVENING JACKET WITH TASSELS AND BEADED FRINGE a million times. While I can't justify the expense right now, I would wear it with the same joy January 20th brought the nation!! Once I have the vaccine I would be on the first plane to L.A. to meet you, because that would be a dream come true!
I absolutely adore the YSL Tom Ford era black suede purse. Everything he touches turns to gold - obsessed with his time at both Gucci and YSL. Would also love the Missoni 70s floral print dress.
I’m obsessed with the Moschino Cheap and Chic tote in the store. Moschino is one of my most favorite designers and the Nanny episode is just amazing. I think Jeremy Scott is really taking Franco’s legacy into the future. Kitsch will always be in and in the last year some whimsy is what we all need.
Hi Doris, I love your site and I hope to visit your shop some day. My mom who is 86 raves about the beautiful clothing she wore in the ‘40s, ‘50s and ‘60s. Your channel gives me a glimpse of what her wardrobe might have included and brings me closer to her spirit as her dementia takes her away. I would love to wear the belted dresses of the ‘50s and the embroidered sweaters you showed in this episode today. I have my mom’s small white fur collar with crystals along the edges that I love to wear with collarless sweaters. It’s beautiful and, I’m sure, indicative of the fashion of that period. Thank you again for bringing pleasure to all of us during this very drab time for fashion.
Oh Doris! Your channel is truly the most charming and informative avenue in the virtual world rn. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and excellent pieces to us. I would love to purchase the Celine coat with cape sleeves!😍 Sending you love and light from Manila 😊
I would love to see your take on more TV shows / movies like Atonement viewing the glory of the 30's, Atomic Blonde and the distinctive 80s style or Sex And The City and the capsulation of 90's and early 00's fashion :) As your "the nanny" video is one of my favourites to date! Thank you
Hey Doris! Hope your well and staying safe, your videos are truly a source of happiness during these very difficult times... their ability to cheer me up is just amazing. Thank you for that. What I'd buy from your store is just anything 1960s, specifically any wool color block shift dress or any 1960s coat and dress ensemble I'd love.. I'll know what to buy when I see it when I feel that feeling when you fall in love with a piece of clothing that really speaks to you...Thanks for the opportunity Doris, and take care!
Loved seeing these clothes, especially the white dress ( at about the 8:30 time point) that looked so much like one of my own dresses. I've got my eye on the Shipton and Heneage slippers.
I've been a fan of vintage forever. I love anything from the 50s or early 60s--Dior, Balanciaga, Lanvin, De La Renta--you name it. I love the Anne Fogarty green velveteen dress--so classic and timeless. Love your videos.
That white late 60s dress you feature in this video would be divine! I love the costumes in the Queen's Gambit - it has reignited my love for the 60s (that Mad Men started!)
My appreciation for costume designers has dramatically increased since watching your show . I learned so much during the episode for American Horror Story, so informative. I enjoy it when you do these styles of videos where you explain both the growth of a character influencing their fashion along with the change of the times. One of my favorite videos from the channel was the Mexican silver video 💛 I would love a bracelet or a statement necklace; I only went to Taxco once when I was very young and got very car sick.
For me, the most interesting part of your collection are garments by american designers from the 1960s and 70s. I'm very into american fashion from that time, and in Poland, where I live, it's really difficult to find ant of that. It would be my dream to own one of Norell's, Hallston's or Burrows' designs.
The Young Edwardian coat is gorgeous! The 70s is more my era though. I would think I had died and gone to heaven if I could spend time in the store rooting through the racks. Amazing giveaway! Stay safe.
The quilted cotton coat is amazing but each and every item are gorgeous and reminds me of my mum and then the 60's when I saved up my after school earnings to buy my first dress (burnt yellowish colour with large polka dots and a huge white "twiggy" collar. Thank you so much for the memories.
The 1960’s raspberry all over sequin gown gives me goosebumps. The color is really stunning and the silhouette is simple and elegant...the 30’d peach lace dressing gown 🤤 also... the Moschino 90’s Leopard pencil skirt paired with the white cropped sweater. So many fun and beautiful things in your store that really showcase your eye for quality and whimsy. I’ve been a subscriber for a while and you never disappoint. Much love ❤️
That Jean Patou dress is to die for i would love to try that on! but iv had my eye on the 2000S courreges black & white plque dress for a while. i also love that white day dress you showed at 8:31. wonderful video much love
Love the channel and the education you provide! I’d love to purchase an Edwardian hat pin! It’s crazy but I’d love to style it and bring something from the past into the everyday.
There isn't a lot for guys, but I love the enamel Versace dog tags. Those are absolutely killer. I've been a huge fan of Doris for years and years and years now.
I would buy your 60s black beaded cocktail dress as the absolute first thing! I've been to your website several times and it's the one thing I keep coming back to look at. It's so elegant, pretty, and over the top, and I wouldn't be able to wait putting it on. Then also your 90s knitted Coogi dress. It's cute for in summer, I love the cut and light green colors on it. It almost looks weirldy flowy, which I love. And your Howard Wolf 70s summer dress! It's such a cute, pretty dress for in the summer as well, and I like the combination of it both being backless, while also having an ocean of colors and a wide skirt to keep it to the fun, chill side. Love all, all of your dresses :) And big congratulations on nearing the 50,000 subs!
I would love to buy the Maud Frizon boots you presented more recently. They happen to be my size, and they also happen to be my absolute dream boots for my 70's glam rock fantasies! I do not shy away from eye catching foot-ware, and these babies will not gather dust in some closet, waiting for an occasion worthy of wearing them. I believe everyday I can still function somewhat normally is a celebration, and I love to show my appreciation with audacious boots that resemble the glittery, leathery offspring of Cherie Curry and Betty Davis ( although I adore and slightly resemble the actress Betty Davis, I am in fact referring to the Funk star and ex wife of Miles Davis ) perhaps with a dash of Debbie Harry thrown in for good measure. If I have anything left over, I would find any 70's prairie goth dress that would fit a very busty size 12/14. Hope to visit in real life someday post pandemic.
As an historian I love your '40S DRESS TAN AND IVORY GRECIAN PRINT' It reminds me of an exhibition I organised a couple of years ago, about fashion in Old Greece. I adore the mondern take. I live in Belgium so it is not optional to visit your store and to be amazed by your passion. But thank you for sharing it for everyone on youtube. Kind regards!
OMG, you're the one that got me into vintage fashion so that'll be so cool if I can have a thing from your boutique! As a 70s lover I would love to have the Holly Harp black jersey wraparound blouse so that my designer collection can rise to a total of two 😁. My beautiful Tseklenis blouse wants a friend haha
I adore your channel. Truly!! I look forward to your weekly videos... they have been such a bright spot in an otherwise dark time in our world. It's hard to even imagine being able to visit your store in person! What a dream come true that would be. If I was fortunate enough to own something from your store, it would definitely be a timeless coat or jacket that I could wear for years to come. Blessings to you all, and please take care of yourselves.
Omgggg are you kidding😱 what wouldn’t I buy!!! Your store is a dream and your channel is soooo informative and is so helpful in dating my pieces, I’m a 21 year old guy and I just can’t stop wearing vintage! There are a few pieces I’m interested in your store! I’m desperately looking to find a Stephen Burrows piece I’m in love with the battle of Versailles and have Halston Oscar Ann Klein but no Burrows, other designers I loveeeee are Diane Frés and Janne Marc, and marry McFadden... lost Americans, but really having any piece in my collection from your store would warm my soul! Thank you for all you do...your a magical person
Of all the wonderful outfits I have seen you wear on these videos, I would say that this one stands out as one my favorites. This particular shade of blue is definitely "your blue"! There are so many wonderfully tantalizing things in your store and thank you for letting us all live our vintage addictions vicariously through you! If I won the $500 giveaway, I would probably go for a piece of Mexican jewelry from that video that you made of all those fabulous pieces. Fingers crossed!
Ooh the white cashmere cardigan, the green embroidered cardigan and the green wrap dress are all just stunning. Everything you feature is stunning mind you!
I would love one of the beautiful cardigan sweaters, beaded or embroidered. I have worn beaded cardigans from the '50s since my sister and I bought them from a used clothing store while we were in highschool in the 1970s. None of them survived my college days, so to have a beauty like one of yours would be fantastic!
Hi Doris! I came across your channel around 2017 when I saw the video with you and Dita Von Tease, I live in LA and came upon your store, all the pieces were absolutely beautiful the staff were very nice to me (even though I didn’t buy anything because I couldn’t afford it ) but just looking at true vintage gowns inspired me to start dressing vintage about four years ago and I would love to just own a true vintage black fit and flare gown for my sister's wedding (after the pandemic of course) it would mean so much especially someone who is pursuing a career in fashion! Even if I weren’t to win I would love to see a video of the winner choose what they would pick in the store because it’s honestly such an amazing place! :)
I swooned at some.. really I should say All of these items. I adored the show and thought this episode was a great idea. I'm from Melbourne Australia & I'm such a fan of Doris and her beautiful store. I'm waiting until it is safe to travel so I can fly over and visit the store & hopefully buy a few pieces!
Hi Doris, Ive been binge watching your show the ENTIRE day today and I'm a new happy subscriber. If I could buy something in your shop I'd probably faint and then choose something whimsical, bold, humourous and fun. I'd love a dress as I've just lost alot of weight (+30kg) which was hard work, but now I realized that all my years of coveting and wishing I could wear and own beautiful vintage clothing can come true and I want to FINALLY express myself and my love for fashion and being ridiculous. Thank you so much, the stuff you do really inspires me
Oh it would be hard to pick! I love the multi colored coat from this episode but I also have a dress from a previous episode that I love as well...I never buy for myself so I'd be a kid in a candy store! Kids come first! Lol! Love you Doris!
Love that you did this video referencing the Queen’s Gambit. The costumes in the show as she evolved correlated beautifully with her personality and the decades. Your clothes and their stories are so interesting and bring back memories of the 60’s and 70’s when I was young and thin enough to wear them!
ohhhh what would i like to buy? Anything by George Stavropoulos or Jean Varon. I love 70s pieces and these two designers really show the beauty of the era.
The Jean Patou dress is beautiful! Instant Courreges vibes. I love it. 🥰 AND that Celine coat. There is such a classic elegance to vintage Celine. Wonderful video! Now I need to watch Queen’s Gambit!
Doris I love your work and this channel! I'd love the ann demeulemeester black leather jacket from the 90s. I love ann and love leather so, together with the fact that it came from you it would bring some joy to these dark days!! xo
I would love to purchase an engagement party dress for my engagement party! I absolutely love your videos and want to say a big thank you to Doris and The Way We Wore team for sharing your amazing knowledge and passion for vintage. I truly believe that clothes are so much more than garments on a body, to me they’re an insight into a where a person has been, what they’re currently going through, and where they aspire to be. Stay safe everyone!
I’ve loved watching Doris allll thru the pandemic. I would purchase something amazing and special but also something that I could use more than just on special occasions. I would also try to buy two things...one for me and one for my best friend who bought me a vintage Gucci bag when we were in Paris with our teenage daughters.
I would love a beautiful vintage handbag. Thank you so much for making this generous offer to us. Take care and be safe and well. Thank you again. Cheers!!
I’ve had my eye on those Vivienne Westwood corset tops you have, as well as some of the Tom Ford eta Gucci items... I also would LOVE to get something by McQueen before he passed... he was a favorite of mine for many years. The ruffle train gown is stunning!!!! 💞 I’m so thankful for your careful curation of pieces, and I can’t WAIT to visit your shop someday! 🙏🏻💞
What a daunting task, however, my dream outfit from your amazing array would likely be a 70s pantsuit ala Bianca Jagger’s wedding attire. Thanks for sharing such wonderful content.
I love the Todd Oldham blue jacket - anything that even closely resembles something Fran Fine would've worn is a go for me! (Your The Nanny episode is one of my all time favorites that you've ever done.) I also love the Anne Fogerty daisy print jersey dress, it looks like it would be so flattering and comfy for fall with some boots or for spring with some espadrilles. But to be honest Doris, more than buying a specific piece, it'd just be my dream to be in your store with you, looking around, soaking in the history, and finding some lil gem!

Please email us at thewaywewore@sbcglobal.net so we can schedule a FaceTime shopping appointment with you. Thank you again for being one of our subscribers and being a part of our vintage community. Best, The Way We Wore Team!
I've loved Doris and The Way We Wore since I first caught an episode of LA Frock Stars, and have always dreamed of buying a wedding dress from you all! I started watching when I was single and got engaged last week, so the reality of getting a dress from The Way We Wore is definitely very much on my mind lately. (Though that pink Dior wide brimmed hat is perhaps more life changing than a wedding dress...😂)
I loved how you talk about the history of each item! As someone who not only loves fashion for the clothes but also the history your channel gives me life! In terms of dream pieces you’ve shown I loved the Ysl sleeper dress that you showed in your last episode. As for this episode goes I loved everything you showed for her 60’s era of outfits! The 60’s are one of my favorite periods for clothing so this was absolutely amazing to watch. I always find new inspiration watching your channel!
Your collection is so beautiful and amazing that it would be hard to choose! I love 20's and 30's flapper to art deco. Adore Westwood, Galliano and Betsey Johnson. The beaded pentagonal purse would make me swoon! Love your channel!
Absolutely loved seeing the clothes in The Queen's Gambit. They had some fabulous pieces! Loved the 60s Celine coat you showed! (PS also love the vintage Chanel back mini-dress)
the vivienne westwood corset & 90s wrap cardigan oh my goodness i just saw those beauties on the website! so stunning! the maid in italy moschino dress is amazing too. so many unique pieces
I would love to purchase a two piece outfit or some jewellery. I used to volunteer at a museum in Chicago. I feel your channel has a curator feel to it. We can celebrate the Humanities through clothing.
I love this selection! I would definitely go for some accessories and more "functional" pieces that I could get loads of use of, like your 80s oversized rainbow clip-on earrings, matched with the 80s Wendy Gell Assemblage belt/necklace.
Queen's gambit was one of my absolute favourite shows of the year and im so so glad to see you cover a bit of it! Gosh while in my heart the things i would love the most are maxi dresses (especially the marimeko magenta one! so psychedelic!!!!) tragically however i'm very much a plus sized girl so I'd have to go with some jewellery or an accessory (not that tragic haha) either that or i've just spotted the gino charles faux fur coat and omg i love it. the trim!!!!
Loved the fashion in the Queen’s Gambit! This was an excellent video. Your contest is lovely too. I would have such a very difficult time deciding on what to purchase... I love the Versace dagger pin, the CD earrings, the spider purse... all treasures! I have a Ben Amun pearl and topaz necklace from the 90’s that I cherish.
I've had my eye on the Jean Varon red polka dot dress on your site. The 70's are my favourite fashion decade and the dress is so beautiful, it would be such a dream to buy it!!
I love the quilted matalisse cotton coat it’s stunning and I would love it dearly. I absolutely adore 60s fashion and The Queens Gambit, thank you for the video.
I would love to purchase the Scaasi Flocked Ball Gown, yet all of your pieces are so divine ! Apart from that I also love all Neo Victorian pieces you have, love seeing old silhouettes reinvented, truly dashing :) xx
Hi, Doris! Thank you for all the work you put into this channel. I would love to buy the 30’s Black Chiffon Pleated Afternoon Dress or the Valentino Orange Silk Mini Dress. Stay safe!
I take inspiration from every decade, but the artistry of Biba & Courrèges in the 60s is unbeatable. I have two styles I veer between: the neutral tones, lace & suede hippie-peasant looks or a structured darker toned look. With this in mind, I have a list of items from your shop saved in a wishlist, including that Adele Simpson dress. I love your collection & channel so much Doris! Cheers to the New Year!
Please do a Marvellous Mrs Maisel episode. That has INCREDIBLE costumes
I agree!! Was absolutely blown away by those FABULOUS ensembles. Wanted put almost every single piece into MY closet!!!
I would love to buy the green embroidered cardigan!
Great video, love the coats and sweaters. Thank you so much for filming wonderful videos 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
If I could purchase anything it would be from Vicky Jaggers video I loved her style otherwise I would just be happy with anything knowing it came from Doris and The Way We Wore!
I would LOVE to be able to shop with Doris! The bullion embroidered brocade gown from a prior episode was so gorgeous, as is the Celine coat from this episode! 🥰
I am in love with the Anne Fogarty green dress ❤️ But oh my all the pieces in this video are beautiful!
I would love to buy things for my best friend and also sister (as I’m a man) and fabulous shoes for them. Choosing pieces they’ll specifically love brings me immense joy
I would love vintage fabric ☺️
I've never clicked so fast. The Queen's Gambit was one of the best things I've watched in a long time, so I am thrilled that you did this video. I'm in the UK so not sure if I'm eligible for the giveaway or not, but if I am, then I am obsessed with the Moschino maid in italy dress x

I cant imagine winning but... the 90S VALENTINO INTRICATELY BEADED CHINOISERIE SHELL TOP or the VINTAGE BLASS 80S VELVET RHINESTONE STRAPLESS GOWN would be pieces of art that I would be honoured to wear.
Good luck to everyone! :)
There are so many beautiful things in your shop! I would buy the vintage Kamali 80’s green satin gown! It’s gorgeous!
Beth's chess themed outfits with the checks and plaids are so clever and sharp. I shouted at the screen like a child when she wore white queen outfit!
I've been obsessing over edwardian fashion lately so I would use the gift card to oogle some beautiful lace!
Doris you look so fabulous!!! I love you store. My wish is to be at your store. I think I would die from all the beautiful cloy❤️✨🎆💥🌟🌙💫🌼
Hi! I just want to say I love this channel so much! If I had the gift card no question I would purchase the Georgia Keyloun 60S Gold Lurex Palazzo Jumpsuit!

Wow! $500 to the store... I can only imagine what to buy. I'd hope to get a vintage leather jacket for my 15 yr old daughter, she really really wants one. Cropped, not necessarily moto but possibly, maybe aviator. If that would not be possible.... Vintage Chanel. Really can't go wrong there!

Knocked it out if every park tonight!! Thank you!
I totally loved the Queen's Gambit. I was think of you Doris during every episode. I very much interested in vintage scarves. I like to wear them as a head wrap which looks like a big trend for the coming year.

I absolutely adore the YSL Tom Ford era black suede purse. Everything he touches turns to gold - obsessed with his time at both Gucci and YSL. Would also love the Missoni 70s floral print dress.
I’m obsessed with the Moschino Cheap and Chic tote in the store. Moschino is one of my most favorite designers and the Nanny episode is just amazing. I think Jeremy Scott is really taking Franco’s legacy into the future. Kitsch will always be in and in the last year some whimsy is what we all need.
Hi Doris,
I love your site and I hope to visit your shop some day. My mom who is 86 raves about the beautiful clothing she wore in the ‘40s, ‘50s and ‘60s. Your channel gives me a glimpse of what her wardrobe might have included and brings me closer to her spirit as her dementia takes her away. I would love to wear the belted dresses of the ‘50s and the embroidered sweaters you showed in this episode today. I have my mom’s small white fur collar with crystals along the edges that I love to wear with collarless sweaters. It’s beautiful and, I’m sure, indicative of the fashion of that period. Thank you again for bringing pleasure to all of us during this very drab time for fashion.
I would love to win and buy the Bonnie Cashin Nubby Cape! It is just gorgeous!
Love learning from your videos, Thank You and Blessings for 2021
Oh Doris! Your channel is truly the most charming and informative avenue in the virtual world rn. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and excellent pieces to us.
I would love to purchase the Celine coat with cape sleeves!😍
Sending you love and light from Manila 😊
Great video concept! The trigere metal 70s collar on the site is stunning!
Your store is amazing and thank you for sharing history on your videos! I would love to own anything Chanel!
I would love to see your take on more TV shows / movies like Atonement viewing the glory of the 30's, Atomic Blonde and the distinctive 80s style or Sex And The City and the capsulation of 90's and early 00's fashion :)
As your "the nanny" video is one of my favourites to date!
Thank you
Ugh, the dresses and coats are divine! Hope you keep safe Doris!
So awesome of you to do a giveaway! The Bakelite bracelet...it would be mine. 😊
Hey Doris! Hope your well and staying safe, your videos are truly a source of happiness during these very difficult times... their ability to cheer me up is just amazing. Thank you for that. What I'd buy from your store is just anything 1960s, specifically any wool color block shift dress or any 1960s coat and dress ensemble I'd love.. I'll know what to buy when I see it when I feel that feeling when you fall in love with a piece of clothing that really speaks to you...Thanks for the opportunity Doris, and take care!
Loved seeing these clothes, especially the white dress ( at about the 8:30 time point) that looked so much like one of my own dresses. I've got my eye on the Shipton and Heneage slippers.
I've been a fan of vintage forever. I love anything from the 50s or early 60s--Dior, Balanciaga, Lanvin, De La Renta--you name it. I love the Anne Fogarty green velveteen dress--so classic and timeless. Love your videos.
That white late 60s dress you feature in this video would be divine! I love the costumes in the Queen's Gambit - it has reignited my love for the 60s (that Mad Men started!)
Beautiful episode! I love the 60's!!
My appreciation for costume designers has dramatically increased since watching your show . I learned so much during the episode for American Horror Story, so informative. I enjoy it when you do these styles of videos where you explain both the growth of a character influencing their fashion along with the change of the times. One of my favorite videos from the channel was the Mexican silver video 💛 I would love a bracelet or a statement necklace; I only went to Taxco once when I was very young and got very car sick.
For me, the most interesting part of your collection are garments by american designers from the 1960s and 70s. I'm very into american fashion from that time, and in Poland, where I live, it's really difficult to find ant of that. It would be my dream to own one of Norell's, Hallston's or Burrows' designs.
The Young Edwardian coat is gorgeous! The 70s is more my era though. I would think I had died and gone to heaven if I could spend time in the store rooting through the racks. Amazing giveaway! Stay safe.
The quilted cotton coat is amazing but each and every item are gorgeous and reminds me of my mum and then the 60's when I saved up my after school earnings to buy my first dress (burnt yellowish colour with large polka dots and a huge white "twiggy" collar. Thank you so much for the memories.
The 1960’s raspberry all over sequin gown gives me goosebumps. The color is really stunning and the silhouette is simple and elegant...the 30’d peach lace dressing gown 🤤 also... the Moschino 90’s Leopard pencil skirt paired with the white cropped sweater. So many fun and beautiful things in your store that really showcase your eye for quality and whimsy. I’ve been a subscriber for a while and you never disappoint. Much love ❤️
That Jean Patou dress is to die for i would love to try that on! but iv had my eye on the 2000S courreges black & white plque dress for a while. i also love that white day dress you showed at 8:31. wonderful video much love
Love the channel and the education you provide! I’d love to purchase an Edwardian hat pin! It’s crazy but I’d love to style it and bring something from the past into the everyday.
There isn't a lot for guys, but I love the enamel Versace dog tags. Those are absolutely killer. I've been a huge fan of Doris for years and years and years now.
I would buy your 60s black beaded cocktail dress as the absolute first thing! I've been to your website several times and it's the one thing I keep coming back to look at. It's so elegant, pretty, and over the top, and I wouldn't be able to wait putting it on.
Then also your 90s knitted Coogi dress. It's cute for in summer, I love the cut and light green colors on it. It almost looks weirldy flowy, which I love. And your Howard Wolf 70s summer dress! It's such a cute, pretty dress for in the summer as well, and I like the combination of it both being backless, while also having an ocean of colors and a wide skirt to keep it to the fun, chill side.
Love all, all of your dresses :) And big congratulations on nearing the 50,000 subs!
I would love to buy the Maud Frizon boots you presented more recently. They happen to be my size, and they also happen to be my absolute dream boots for my 70's glam rock fantasies! I do not shy away from eye catching foot-ware, and these babies will not gather dust in some closet, waiting for an occasion worthy of wearing them. I believe everyday I can still function somewhat normally is a celebration, and I love to show my appreciation with audacious boots that resemble the glittery, leathery offspring of Cherie Curry and Betty Davis ( although I adore and slightly resemble the actress Betty Davis, I am in fact referring to the Funk star and ex wife of Miles Davis ) perhaps with a dash of Debbie Harry thrown in for good measure. If I have anything left over, I would find any 70's prairie goth dress that would fit a very busty size 12/14. Hope to visit in real life someday post pandemic.
As an historian I love your '40S DRESS TAN AND IVORY GRECIAN PRINT' It reminds me of an exhibition
I organised a couple of years ago, about fashion in Old Greece. I adore the mondern take. I live in Belgium so it is not optional to visit your store and to be amazed by your passion. But thank you for sharing it for everyone on youtube. Kind regards!
OMG, you're the one that got me into vintage fashion so that'll be so cool if I can have a thing from your boutique! As a 70s lover I would love to have the Holly Harp black jersey wraparound blouse so that my designer collection can rise to a total of two 😁. My beautiful Tseklenis blouse wants a friend haha
I adore your channel. Truly!! I look forward to your weekly videos... they have been such a bright spot in an otherwise dark time in our world. It's hard to even imagine being able to visit your store in person! What a dream come true that would be. If I was fortunate enough to own something from your store, it would definitely be a timeless coat or jacket that I could wear for years to come. Blessings to you all, and please take care of yourselves.
Omgggg are you kidding😱 what wouldn’t I buy!!! Your store is a dream and your channel is soooo informative and is so helpful in dating my pieces, I’m a 21 year old guy and I just can’t stop wearing vintage! There are a few pieces I’m interested in your store! I’m desperately looking to find a Stephen Burrows piece I’m in love with the battle of Versailles and have Halston Oscar Ann Klein but no Burrows, other designers I loveeeee are Diane Frés and Janne Marc, and marry McFadden... lost Americans, but really having any piece in my collection from your store would warm my soul! Thank you for all you do...your a magical person
Of all the wonderful outfits I have seen you wear on these videos, I would say that this one stands out as one my favorites. This particular shade of blue is definitely "your blue"! There are so many wonderfully tantalizing things in your store and thank you for letting us all live our vintage addictions vicariously through you! If I won the $500 giveaway, I would probably go for a piece of Mexican jewelry from that video that you made of all those fabulous pieces. Fingers crossed!
Ooh the white cashmere cardigan, the green embroidered cardigan and the green wrap dress are all just stunning. Everything you feature is stunning mind you!
I would love to be able to buy the 2000S Courreges black and white pique dress. I love the channel, thank you so much for running this giveaway!
I would love one of the beautiful cardigan sweaters, beaded or embroidered. I have worn beaded cardigans from the '50s since my sister and I bought them from a used clothing store while we were in highschool in the 1970s. None of them survived my college days, so to have a beauty like one of yours would be fantastic!
Love that deep mauve wine colour short dress !!! 😮 I’m all about the empire structured gowns and dresses!!!
Hi Doris! I came across your channel around 2017 when I saw the video with you and Dita Von Tease, I live in LA and came upon your store, all the pieces were absolutely beautiful the staff were very nice to me (even though I didn’t buy anything because I couldn’t afford it ) but just looking at true vintage gowns inspired me to start dressing vintage about four years ago and I would love to just own a true vintage black fit and flare gown for my sister's wedding (after the pandemic of course) it would mean so much especially someone who is pursuing a career in fashion! Even if I weren’t to win I would love to see a video of the winner choose what they would pick in the store because it’s honestly such an amazing place! :)
I swooned at some.. really I should say All of these items. I adored the show and thought this episode was a great idea. I'm from Melbourne Australia & I'm such a fan of Doris and her beautiful store. I'm waiting until it is safe to travel so I can fly over and visit the store & hopefully buy a few pieces!
Hi Doris,
Ive been binge watching your show the ENTIRE day today and I'm a new happy subscriber.
If I could buy something in your shop I'd probably faint and then choose something whimsical, bold, humourous and fun.
I'd love a dress as I've just lost alot of weight (+30kg) which was hard work, but now I realized that all my years of coveting and wishing I could wear and own beautiful vintage clothing can come true and I want to FINALLY express myself and my love for fashion and being ridiculous.
Thank you so much, the stuff you do really inspires me
Oh it would be hard to pick! I love the multi colored coat from this episode but I also have a dress from a previous episode that I love as well...I never buy for myself so I'd be a kid in a candy store! Kids come first! Lol! Love you Doris!
Loved Queen's Gambit. The balloon psychedelic and color blocked are very nice.
Love that you did this video referencing the Queen’s Gambit. The costumes in the show as she evolved correlated beautifully with her personality and the decades. Your clothes and their stories are so interesting and bring back memories of the 60’s and 70’s when I was young and thin enough to wear them!
Glad you enjoyed it!
ohhhh what would i like to buy? Anything by George Stavropoulos or Jean Varon. I love 70s pieces and these two designers really show the beauty of the era.
The Jean Patou dress is beautiful! Instant Courreges vibes. I love it. 🥰 AND that Celine coat. There is such a classic elegance to vintage Celine. Wonderful video! Now I need to watch Queen’s Gambit!
Doris I love your work and this channel! I'd love the ann demeulemeester black leather jacket from the 90s. I love ann and love leather so, together with the fact that it came from you it would bring some joy to these dark days!! xo
Oh my God!! I literally can live into, all of those amazing pieces!!! The red one wool dress is love at first sight!! Bravo
I would love to purchase an engagement party dress for my engagement party!
I absolutely love your videos and want to say a big thank you to Doris and The Way We Wore team for sharing your amazing knowledge and passion for vintage.
I truly believe that clothes are so much more than garments on a body, to me they’re an insight into a where a person has been, what they’re currently going through, and where they aspire to be.
Stay safe everyone!
I would buy that crazy striped Lacroix ensemble, $175
that Lanavich choker is GORGEOUS!! $150
YSL scarf $236
😍😍😍😍😍🥰🥰
I’ve loved watching Doris allll thru the pandemic. I would purchase something amazing and special but also something that I could use more than just on special occasions. I would also try to buy two things...one for me and one for my best friend who bought me a vintage Gucci bag when we were in Paris with our teenage daughters.
What I wouldn't give for that Trompe L'Oeil suit, effortlessly fun!
I would love a beautiful vintage handbag. Thank you so much for making this generous offer to us. Take care and be safe and well. Thank you again. Cheers!!
If I won, I would buy anything and everything I could..love love love watching your episodes. Thank you for providing some joy to the world
I’ve had my eye on those Vivienne Westwood corset tops you have, as well as some of the Tom Ford eta Gucci items... I also would LOVE to get something by McQueen before he passed... he was a favorite of mine for many years. The ruffle train gown is stunning!!!! 💞 I’m so thankful for your careful curation of pieces, and I can’t WAIT to visit your shop someday! 🙏🏻💞
What a daunting task, however, my dream outfit from your amazing array would likely be a 70s pantsuit ala Bianca Jagger’s wedding attire. Thanks for sharing such wonderful content.
Wow, the tie-two-pieces
I love the Todd Oldham blue jacket - anything that even closely resembles something Fran Fine would've worn is a go for me! (Your The Nanny episode is one of my all time favorites that you've ever done.) I also love the Anne Fogerty daisy print jersey dress, it looks like it would be so flattering and comfy for fall with some boots or for spring with some espadrilles. But to be honest Doris, more than buying a specific piece, it'd just be my dream to be in your store with you, looking around, soaking in the history, and finding some lil gem!

@@thewaywewore7371 Hello! Thank you so much! I emailed you guys yesterday evening :)
‘Beth’ had innate style. Very chic and minimalist. Loved this. Stay safe! ❤️
I've loved Doris and The Way We Wore since I first caught an episode of LA Frock Stars, and have always dreamed of buying a wedding dress from you all! I started watching when I was single and got engaged last week, so the reality of getting a dress from The Way We Wore is definitely very much on my mind lately. (Though that pink Dior wide brimmed hat is perhaps more life changing than a wedding dress...😂)
I loved how you talk about the history of each item! As someone who not only loves fashion for the clothes but also the history your channel gives me life! In terms of dream pieces you’ve shown I loved the Ysl sleeper dress that you showed in your last episode. As for this episode goes I loved everything you showed for her 60’s era of outfits! The 60’s are one of my favorite periods for clothing so this was absolutely amazing to watch. I always find new inspiration watching your channel!
Glad you enjoyed!
Your collection is so beautiful and amazing that it would be hard to choose! I love 20's and 30's flapper to art deco. Adore Westwood, Galliano and Betsey Johnson. The beaded pentagonal purse would make me swoon! Love your channel!
Absolutely loved seeing the clothes in The Queen's Gambit. They had some fabulous pieces! Loved the 60s Celine coat you showed! (PS also love the vintage Chanel back mini-dress)
the vivienne westwood corset & 90s wrap cardigan oh my goodness i just saw those beauties on the website! so stunning! the maid in italy moschino dress is amazing too. so many unique pieces
I would love to purchase a two piece outfit or some jewellery. I used to volunteer at a museum in Chicago. I feel your channel has a curator feel to it. We can celebrate the Humanities through clothing.
I would love to buy almost any piece in your store, they all have life and soul!
I love this selection! I would definitely go for some accessories and more "functional" pieces that I could get loads of use of, like your 80s oversized rainbow clip-on earrings, matched with the 80s Wendy Gell Assemblage belt/necklace.
So many choices! One of those embellished sweaters would be lovely!
Queen's gambit was one of my absolute favourite shows of the year and im so so glad to see you cover a bit of it! Gosh while in my heart the things i would love the most are maxi dresses (especially the marimeko magenta one! so psychedelic!!!!) tragically however i'm very much a plus sized girl so I'd have to go with some jewellery or an accessory (not that tragic haha) either that or i've just spotted the gino charles faux fur coat and omg i love it. the trim!!!!
Loved the fashion in the Queen’s Gambit! This was an excellent video. Your contest is lovely too. I would have such a very difficult time deciding on what to purchase... I love the Versace dagger pin, the CD earrings, the spider purse... all treasures! I have a Ben Amun pearl and topaz necklace from the 90’s that I cherish.
Ahhhh i would love a summery dress! Something to look forward to wearing after this cold winter ❄️
Love to buy the Vintage YSL 70s Bronze Plated Hammered Cuff. Someday look forward to visiting the shop.
I've had my eye on the Jean Varon red polka dot dress on your site. The 70's are my favourite fashion decade and the dress is so beautiful, it would be such a dream to buy it!!
I love the quilted matalisse cotton coat it’s stunning and I would love it dearly. I absolutely adore 60s fashion and The Queens Gambit, thank you for the video.
I would love to purchase the Scaasi Flocked Ball Gown, yet all of your pieces are so divine ! Apart from that I also love all Neo Victorian pieces you have, love seeing old silhouettes reinvented, truly dashing :) xx
I would love a flowing garden dress to wear at my party I hope to throw this summer when it’s safe to to hang out with my friends that I miss so much.
Hi, Doris! Thank you for all the work you put into this channel. I would love to buy the 30’s Black Chiffon Pleated Afternoon Dress or the Valentino Orange Silk Mini Dress. Stay safe!
I take inspiration from every decade, but the artistry of Biba & Courrèges in the 60s is unbeatable. I have two styles I veer between: the neutral tones, lace & suede hippie-peasant looks or a structured darker toned look. With this in mind, I have a list of items from your shop saved in a wishlist, including that Adele Simpson dress. I love your collection & channel so much Doris! Cheers to the New Year!
