1959.21.5Description
Tan silk dress with large lace collar. The fabric is woven in one direction with gold thread and the other with green, giving an all-over tan color that shifts as the fabric folds. The bodice is fitted with curved V-shaped darts pointing toward the center front waistline. The long sleeves are full and curved toward the inner seam. The skirt gathers to the bodice at the waistline. The collar is formed of two layers of embroidered net stitched onto the neckline. The attachment may not be original as it is no attached straight.Context
