However...
The 30 patterns in the book are mystifying, to say the least. Yes, there are lines labelled "D" and "F", and instructions to "join D to F", but there is no scale, there are no measurements. The best a person can do is measure the actual little drawings and scale up - which, as I know from other pattern scaling during the course, can lead to disastrous magnifications.
So I turned to Dr Google, and indeed, there are great discussions of how to recreate Vionnet there. One of them is a most informative blog post comparing Kirke's Vionnet, and the Japanese book based on it, in Fashion-Incubator hosted and edited by Kathleen Fasanella. Even if you don't read Japanese, this is apparently THE book to get if you want to actually make a Vionnet, since the patterns have been tested and retested by a research team, and recreated. Bonanza!!
For a sample discussion on recreating one of the patterns, see Recreating Pattern 14. This sewist, too, used both Bunka (the Japanese book) and Kirke's. I guess I'll be ordering one more book!
