Movement engineering in tango dress design
A tango dress is not worn,
it is negotiated.
Slit, flare, and bias cut
all answer to the music.
The story
Tango dresses use bias cuts and strategic slits to allow dramatic legwork; the silhouette is engineered for the dance's vocabulary of pause and rapid pivot.
