Fibre Mood - MILDRED Dress Sewing Pattern

FIBRE MOOD X MOMU.

As part of the Re-evaluate project, Fibre Mood was given the opportunity to translate a historical piece from the Momu Antwerp study collection into a contemporary and accessible pattern that radiates the spirit and look of the original. This dress translates that mentality into material and cut. The straight, bias-cut silhouette allows the body to move without stiffening, the asymmetrical hem breaks with traditional floor-length evening wear, and the striking zigzag motif references both Egyptian imagery and the modern design of the 1920s. The result is a garment that only takes shape when in motion.
