It looks to be one of Mme V's easier patterns, seriously. I have both the
Japanese and the English book, and have tackled many of her pieces. This one,
thanks to the hard work done for the "Patterns" books is nicely laid out and
should be easy to enlarge and create. Because of her absolute genius, you are
not going to find it anywhere else in the glorious splendor of the one she
created. Go forth and enlarge! Make it in a really cheap fabric, adjust for
size, create in your chosen fabric, and there you go :-) Nightwing Whitehead

I am attempting to recreate the Vionnet dress on page 68 of Patterns of Fashion
2. It's a rather special project, for a friend currently undergoing chemo to
wear at an Edwardian event later this fall - it is not confining, does not
require a corset and would be appropriate to wear with turban to hide hair
loss. I will be making myself something similar so she doesn't feel like the
only person in avant garde clothing.I'm hoping someone on the list has
experience with this dress and can offer any tips or shortcuts - for instance,
is the pattern available full size anywhere? Or is there a pattern that could
be adapted?Thanks in advance!Kelly

away from my library and inventory of patterns; do you "do" pinterest and might
be able to pick out the look you seem to want...
