Madeleine Vionnete donated over 100 of her designs to the Les Arts Decoratifs Institute in 1952 before her death. The dresses are now being restored at the Institute for an exhibition in Paris. The challenge is not only to turn back time but to make sure the garment's weight is evenly supported. The curator of the exhibition, Pamela Golbin explained "The new linings are attached in such a way that, if a piece cracks, it's the new bit that gives and not the original fabric."
