Hi, ladies,
If this dress is stable enough, I would suggest placing it on a dress form both ways. You may be able to get a better sense of which is really the front when you see how it falls. Also check things like how the sleeves are seamed. I would also say that this dress owes a debt to Madame Vionnet for its creative use of bias — check out Betty Kirke’s book on Vionnet for more info!
