THE TECHNIQUE

Bias cut construction is the secret behind $600+ luxury slip dresses. By cutting fabric along the 45-degree grain line, you create:

• Natural stretch and movement without elastic

• Fluid, body-skimming drape that's impossible to achieve with straight grain

• Professional elegance that turns heads
