Dress, 1912, French, silk, Perhaps the most radical achievement in Poiret's career, underestimated by the designer himself, was his development of the chemise silhouette. Although other couturiers might arguably share credit with him for advocating the abolition of the corset, including Lucile and Madeleine Vionnet, it is Poiret who, aided by the free-spirited confidence of his wife, Denise, created gowns that anticipated those of a decade later
