Description

A black and white checkered silk day dress, with long sleeves. The checkered pattern is small scale throughout most of the dress, but has sections that are larger scale highlighting the cut of the dress, for example along the hem, the tier of the skirt, and along the arms. The ends of both sleeves, as well as the upper chest and neck area, are made from lace, with black polka dot detailing. There are decorative black buttons bordering the lace on the chest, as well as two swirled silk details at the waist. The dress opens in the back, and closes with a series of metal hook-and-eye clasps.
