Balenciaga Armless Dress

As in, there are no holes at shoulder-level through which to extend one's arms.

I imagine it would be painful to fall down while wearing this. Also, awkward to wear it to a dinner party.

The price: $5,300.

Isn't this just the colorized version of the images about the evolution of the straightjacket? I seem to remember this one because it's dual purpose -- up for limited movement, but a quick yank down, and they're totally immobilized.

Looks like it was made by someone who had no idea how to operate a sewing machine.
