Evening dress
Jeanne Lanvin|House of Lanvin
ca. 1930 · silk · Costume Institute
A silk tulle skirt is obscured by bias ruffles, bringing the relatively flat bias construction of Vionnet to a more three dimensional application. Other bias bands crisscross at the neckline, joined imperceptibly to the body of the dress by a narrow web of tulle.
