I've got four yards of soft black viscose lying around here, waiting to be turned into a Madeleine Vionnet dress whenever I feel sufficiently experimental (she's the one who never used patterns, preferring to drape the fabric on the figure and cut accordingly... quite the rage in the 1930s, and still stunningly beautiful), and whenever I can lay my hands on some dark green watered silk for the sash.
