So this is what a $29,650 metallic silk Balmain runway dress looks like. (That's approximately $500 a stripe, give or take.) Online retailer SSENSE is selling the only one that exists exclusively, so if you're a size 36 with money to blow, you can buy it here. And then maybe you can pay our student loans for us, you know, while you're at it.
