According to curator Harold Koda ; 82nd & Fifth: FRENCH DRESSING by Harold Koda
Poiret constructed this garment by taking one fifteen-foot-long piece of fabric, twisting it, and connecting it with just one seam, leaving openings for the sleeves. “It’s maddening because you would never think to approach the making of a garment in this way before,” says curator Harold Koda. http://met.org/15bboO9
