1930's Bias Cut Evening Dress

This is a 1930's bias cut evening dress. This is from Betty Kirke's book on Madeline Vionnet which includes pattern references. Madeleine Vionnet was a French fashion designer. Called the "Queen of the bias cut" and "the architect among dressmakers".

I drafted my pattern from this book, fitted and stitched the garment. I also dyed The silk fabric myself the colours I chose where inspired by the artist Miro’s work.
