away from my library and inventory of patterns; do you "do" pinterest and might 
be able to pick out the look you seem to want...

Subject: [h-cost] 1918 Vionnet Gown

I am attempting to recreate the Vionnet dress on page 68 of Patterns of Fashion 
2. It's a rather special project, for a friend currently undergoing chemo to 
wear at an Edwardian event later this fall - it is not confining, does not 
require a corset and would be appropriate to wear with turban to hide hair 
loss. I will be making myself something similar so she doesn't feel like the 
only person in avant garde clothing.I'm hoping someone on the list has 
experience with this dress and can offer any tips or shortcuts - for instance, 
is the pattern available full size anywhere? Or is there a pattern that could 
be adapted?Thanks in advance!Kelly
