In Vogue November, 1927, page 27, Madeleine Vionnet wrote, "What has a couturier to work with? A woman and some fabric. And out of these he [1] has to make something harmonious." and went on to say, "I have done my best to plead for the rehabilitation of these two innocents and show that a fabric which falls freely over the body without armor-plating may yet form a harmonious spectacle."
Note [1] Yes, she wrote "he".

I'm not looking for the originals from the early 1900's, just reproduction or even models. I like the way she cut on the grain/cross-grain and wore on the bias, I think it's an economical use of fabric. My main interest is learning how she did things, rather than reproducing the garments as is.
Iβm trying to master bias cut dressmaking for my senior year thesis with my inspirations being, of course, Galliano and Madeleine Vionnet. However itβs hard to find any guides past the beginner stage online! I have a book called βBias-Cut Dressmaking,β but thatβs just a bunch of patterns. Iβm looking more for the couture level secrets of working on the bias. Does anyone have any suggestions about where I should look??
I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies π
It really does, I swear!
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
Heard they've been doing some shady business.
but then I remembered it was ground this morning.
Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale
Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
BamBOO!
Theyβre on standbi
A play on words.
Pilot on me!!
