July, 2024 | Gown inspired by a 1920 Madeleine Vionnet

Hi there! This is a short post with a few pictures, just to say that my recent article for Foundations Revealed has been published. The gown was made couture from the start to the finish i.e. I took the time to ensure that its quality was as high as I could possibly achieve and exactly what I would expect if I had a few grands to spend on an actual Vionnet or like, Armani Prive etc.

In the article, I discuss:

bias-cut (very briefly) and hankerchief dresses of Madeleine Vionnet

my intepretatrion of a design sketch, found in the book Madeleine Vionnet by Betty Kirke

choice of fabric and other materials

pattern-making

the sewing process in detail with lots of pictures, including all the finishings and inner workings

sources (further reading/reseach)

The FR website does require a subscription. I feel so embarrassed for self-promotion but sometimes my labour does need to be compensated to pay bills and buy food : (

I will make a full post here after I get back the copyright (in about six months). I also know that there is some, hmm, tea about FR. I shall just say that the staff and writers I've been in actual contact with are simply great and I am very thankful.

Meanwhile, here are some pictures for you!
