Description
Madeleine Vionnet (1876-1975) was the greatest dressmaker in the world, considered a genius for her innovations with difficult bias cut designs. Vionnet dressed the movie stars of the 1930s and invented new pattern-making techniques. This definitive study of an astonishing woman and her work contains 38 original patterns for Vionnet dresses. Over 400 illustrations. In this tribute to famed dressmaker Madeleine Vionnet, inventor of the "bias cut"--a cut that forces cloth to adhere to the body and move with it--fashion historian Betty Kirke offers a cornucopia of photographs of elegant gowns, halter dresses, and cowl necks of the 1930s and '40s.
