Sheer Georgette with Ruffled Yoke DressEntry/Object ID
2001.13.16Description
Full length sheer ivory dress of silk georgette. Lace ruffle at neck, closes with button and button loop, small ribbon at neck? Yoke surrounded by interwoven ribbon and another lace ruffle. Long billowing sleeves with lace and band of self-fabric at wrist. Cuff is of lace. Bodice is gathered into lace waistband and buttons up the middle section with buttons and self-fabric button loops. Dress measures 17" (w) x 54" (l).
(The above suggested date is due to the fact that buttons and self-fabric loops were not used in the early 20th century. Also, the ribbon at the neck appears to be synthetic from touch and burn identification, otherwise the dress fabric and lace are natural. Perhaps it was an older dress that was revamped at a later date?)Collection
