The beauty of this dress is its expressed construction, revealing the turnings of cuffs and the elegant passage of loose material to form a soft neckline. The confirming beauty is the inescapable expression of the body within revealed through bias drapery. The unerring sensuousness of a Vionnet dress resides in the liberation and articulation of the body it achieves.
