Evening dress
Madeleine Vionnet
fall/winter 1929–30 · silk · Costume Institute
An evening dress of bias-cut black chiffon, trimmed with tiers of black satin ruffles. The ruffles on the train are cut on the bias and thus keep their bounce rather than flatten as straight ruffles do. The hipline is defined by a wide black satin sash and bow.
