There was a picture of it laid out flat: And an image of Vionnets original design sketch, showing how she envisioned it looking on a model: And finally, an image of the surviving original dress on a mannequin: Between these three images it was very easy to calculate the approximate dimensions of the original dress, and cut out a reasonable replica from vintage kimono crepe: Two hours of picot edging and darning stitch to join the pieces later, I had a dress: It fits me very snugly (very modern, it shows off what a great bottom I have), Isabella the mannequin like a glove, and itsy-bitsy petite Anna in a perfectly period, slightly loose 1920s style
Style it with heels and simple jewellery for a party-ready look, or let the rich brown satin and statement waist detail do the work on their own
Plus, a fun clutch is a great way to take an outfit to the next level without much effort
My personal favorite is grilled seafood (mahi is amazing!) Veggies: Sometimes I use it for veggies bowls for lunches
Solayo fabric: Moisture-wicking, antimicrobial and wrinkle-resistant fabric that is lightweight, breathable and soft to the touch
