While the French did not invent flattery, even they might agree that they’ve elevated it to an art.
For proof, consider this linen skirt.
It’s your basic linen skirt, approx. 1 gazillion uses, but altogether more flattering, more forgiving. Why?
Bias cut is why. The haute-couture technique (introduced by Madeleine Vionnet) of cutting fabric on a diagonal across the weave, so it stretches and flows almost magically. And if you haven’t lost that 10 pounds yet, it won’t tell a soul.
Bias-Cut Linen Skirt (No. 1170). Comfortable, soft, luminous linen. Non-dowdy elasticized waistband. Drapes and moves beautifully, with a flip of the hem as you proceed down the catwalk.
Women’s sizes; XS, S, M, L.
Colors: Pink and Turquoise.
