What did Madeleine Vionnet create?
1 Answer
Madeleine Vionnet created two innovations that would revolutionize women's fashion. The first is the bias cut, the practice of cutting fabric at a 45-degree angle to its grain to enhance its stretch and allow it to flow more freely. In addition, Vionnet pioneered new draping methods, reducing the number of seams and fastening needed to produce a dress. On 1stDibs, find a large selection of vintage apparel and accessories.
