Here's a beautiful example of a 1930s dress cut on the bias. I love the way the skirt hangs and the neckline drapes :)

This is a video I directed in early 2020 of students' work in progress. 

I was thinking we could do something similar (but better) for the Chertsey project, highlighting the process of garment analysis, pattern cutting, sampling and final construction from beginning to end. Might be an interesting perspective for the viewer to see. Let me know what you think...
