The Gallery:
Nice job! Madeleine Vionnet is a favorite of mine as well as Paul Poiret and Worth.
I’m in the process of making a dress like this now! thanks for the inspiration/basic idea on how to make it!
You’re welcome! I’m actually going to be running a workshop on making this dress in a few moths. It’s a great dress for beginner seamstresses, and a great intro to vintage sewing!
Please let me know when you do the workshop on theMadeleine Vionnet.
