- Description
- Bodice, c.1895. Black patterned china silk with green, pink, and gold flowers. Huge leg o' mutton sleeves gather into small black velvet cuffs. Slightly puffed front, peplum. At the small round neckline, there is a small half inch stand collar. The centre front of the bodice is gathered at the neckline and at the waist. Beneath the waist, there is a peplum with most of its flare in the back. The rest of the bodice is unadorned, as the sleeves are really the main focus. The sleeves are cartridge pleated around the top of the armscye. The lightweight fabric and internal supports make each shoulder puff out to roughly the size of a watermelon. They taper slightly to the cuff (where they are gathered), but most of the volume remains for the whole sleeve. The black velvet cuffs have a flower on the outside, but no opening. Inside, the bodice is lined with brown cotton, and nine bones. The peplum is lined with gold a silk floral brocade. The bodice has hook and eye closures up the centre front.

- Description
- Evening dress, c.1929. Black rayon lace with cotton organdy slip. Sleeveless, flounced bodice and skirt. Knee length, dips to a longer hemline in the back. The dress is cut in the flapper style, but with 1930s style flounces. It is entirely made out of black rayon machine lace, with an organdy slip underneath. Hanging from the neckline there is a lace flounce with scalloped edge, overtop of the main lace dress. It hangs over the chest area in the front; at the back, it is tacked onto the dress underneath and comes down in a V shape. At a dropped waist height, where the V shape ends, the skirt of the main dress is another flounce. It ends at knee height in the front, and scoops down to calf length in the back. The slip attaches at the shoulders with a small strap that wraps around the shoulder at its seam and snaps back onto itself. At the bottom, there is a layer of lace sewn on to it that hangs a few inches past the slip hem. It comes up higher at the front, in a triangle shape.

- Description
- Dress, c.1925-1929. Green silk chiffon. Sleeveless, straight cut, round neckline, scarf attached at right shoulder, dropped waist with skirt flounces, knee length. At each shoulder, there are five pin tucks, and at the right front shoulder there is a wide scarf as long as the dress that could be worn in a number of ways. At the dropped waist there is some very slight gathering in the bodice. The skirt has a plain inner layer and an outer layer that attaches to the back a few inches below the waistline. On the left front, the over skirt angles slightly downwards as it is attached to the side front. It is attached to the under skirt until it reaches just past the centre front; here it is cut and tacked down along the bias, draping straight down from that point in a flounce. At the right, the over skirt comes across the front for a few inches, then the top edge is turned down at a forty five degree angle and sewn in place. The rectangular piece of fabric would have been able to connect to the left seam, but instead it hangs draped on the left.

- Description
- Dress, c.1925-1929. Green silk chiffon. Straight cut, button trim, lace collar and cuffs with embroidery, long sleeves, yoke above pleated and ruched knee length skirt. This dress is good example of the ever shorter and more transparent clothing that was being worn by rebellious young women toward the end of the 1920s. The round neckline has a rolled collar of beige lace that ends a few inches over the shoulders. At the front, it has abstract floral embroidery in blue, green, pink, and black. At the centre front of the neckline there is a bound slit with three self bound round buttons on either side. They close with thread loops from the right side that go around each left button. The sleeves flare out slightly into a bishop sleeve gathered to the cuff. They have the same type of embroidered lace on the cuff as on the collar. At the centre front of the bodice, there is a rectangular panel appliquéd with gold top stitching. Directly beneath, there is a yoke that circles around the back and comes up to a point at centre front. On either side of a dropped waist, there is a vertical row of three self covered round buttons with three thread eyes, creating a small fold in the fabric. The skirt is a plain tube with a front and back panel, and another panel that hangs on top extending to the side backs. This top panel is ruched with three lines of gathering at the centre front, and it is permanently pleated on either side of the ruching to the side backs. The ruched panel dips down slightly in a curve, and the whole panel is finished with a zig-zag stitch.

- Dress, c.1925-1929. Orange silk crepe. Straight cut. Scoop neck with tie and buckle on bodice, false cardigan with pearl button pockets, long sleeved, knee length pleated skirt. Below the low scoop neck hangs a sash with a decorative mother of pearl buckle. On each side front there is a panel joined at the shoulders, side seams, and over the sleeves to create the look of a cardigan. There is a pocket each side, both with two bands in a T shape and four oblong pearl buttons down the vertical band. Under each side panel and on the main dress bodice there is a small dart at bust level. The sleeves have some slight gathers at the elbow. A few centimetres above the end of the sleeve there is a tuck. The sleeve ends are self bound; they open to the tuck and close with snaps. The seams are finished by a serger. The back of the dress is straight cut without shaping or adornment except for a dropped waist band that hangs in the back, sewn into the side seams. In front, the bodice and skirt join at a curved point at centre front. The skirt has narrow pleats separated by sections without pleating.
- Object History

The dresses are estimated to date from circa 1925 to 1930.

- The donor inherited this artifact from his mother, Katherine Maude (Kitty) Peers, who inherited them from her father, Louis Claude Hill. The artifacts were found on his farm, Brookfield Farm, at Douglas Road and Sperling Avenue (now site of Burnaby Village Museum). In general, hand mauls are used in woodworking todrive antler wedges or spreading sticks into logs and split planks. They were also used in combination with chisels for detail work. Their presence at an archeological site is viewed as evidence of long term habitations. They are associated with house building, canoe building, housepost and welcome figure carving. Nipple top hand mauls are identified as Marpole Culture (400 BC - 400 AD).
