2022.35.0537Description
One wears white ball gown, very low pointed décolletage edged with pink ribbon and
simple frills. Short frilled sleeves, deep pointed waist, overskirt with double row of similar
trim above hem, curved up at side to reveal simple underskirt. The other is wearing a
rather eclectic orientalist mix--low neckline of black brocade [?] with very generous,
hanging bell sleeves pulled up above the elbow, a diagonally stripe black/green short skirt
with a short red open skirt topped with a long, wide white fringed sash twisted around the
waist and hanging to the hem-- and what appears to be a Turkish cap with tassel.Collection
