This dress has flattering shaping on the bodice via under bust shirring and a dual cape tired style that falls into waterfall draping around the neckline. This high cape style is seen often in mid 1930s styles and cleverly replaces the sleeves giving coverage on the upper arm but without close fitting sleeves thus giving easy arm movement and underarm freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDress has bias cut panels that glide and drape around the body like liquid and reaches a ankle length on most. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBias cut\u003c\/strong\u003e means the fabric is cut diagonally, at 45 degrees to the grain, so it stretches and drapes close to the body.

In the 1930s the bias cut replaced the straight lines of the 1920s with a soft, fluid silhouette and a natural waist, and it became the signature look of evening wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho created the bias cut?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMadeleine Vionnet is credited with introducing the technique, and our style guide dates its peak to 1933, with clinging satin gowns, cowl fronts and low backs, as worn by Jean Harlow in \u003cem\u003eDinner at Eight\u003c\/em\u003e.
