All nice choices, Kate!

I don't think there's any one garment that "has it all" for me,
but I love the drape of the back of this French gown:

The draping of Isabel Toledo's "kangaroo dress":

(a greyish dress in three views, about halfway down the page, below the
purple, rather blocky dress) (in fact, I really like most Toledos...
take a look at the orange dress a bit farther down, only in profile)

And Vionnet's bias circular skirt... best photo I could find on the net
is Steichen's here:
