Dressing Jacket | c. 1930-39

The dressing jacket featured here is a very inventive piece of dressing wear showing the influence of Vionnet at that time. Her influential, minimal design was created by taking four rectangles of ivory silk crepe, two at front and two at back, joined at the shoulders to form two diamond forms. This piece follows in that mode and is beautifully made and thought out with the scarves matching on each side.
