Object History
Chinese Canadians have contributed to Burnaby’s growth for over a century. The long and intertwining histories between Chinese Canadians, Indigenous people and other communities have shaped the founding of Burnaby and British Columbia. This resource guide was created because their life experiences and important contributions to Burnaby’s development are not widely known.

Description
Dress with bolero jacket, c. 1930s. Black cotton lace with black silk chiffon slip. Sleeveless, low draped back, ankle length slightly flared at the bottom. Long sleeved lace bolero with metal brooch clasp. The dress has a round neckline in front that drapes into a deep V in the back. There is a magnet at the centre front of the neckline to hold up the metal clasp of the bolero. The bodice attaches at a fairly high waistline. At the front of the skirt, there is are two triangular sections that make up the top section; on the back, there is one triangular piece cut into the top section of the skirt. The rest of it is cut as a front and back section, with a slight flare at the bottom. The slip is cut differently, and may not be the original that went with the dress since it lacks the corresponding shoulder snaps. Each shoulder strap has five rows of smocking on the top. They meet at a triangle shape with gathering under the breasts, and at the back at the waistline in the same way as the dress. The skirt hangs in six gores which also flare out somewhat at the bottom. It is somewhat longer than the dress, visible at the bottom for several inches. The seams are unfinished. The bolero is long sleeved, gathered to cuffs at the wrist, with purposeful large holes at each underarm. It has two darts at the bottom back, and a triangular shape hangs down from the centre back neckline. The front angles down to points from each shoulder, where there is a silver metal brooch clasp with clear rhinestones. It is held up with the magnet in the dress, which gives the bolero front a draped affect.
Object History
This dress belonged to Mrs.Myra Mitchell, who lived in a senior's cottage housing complex located S.W. area off Canada Way and Edmonds. She passed away c.1961.

Description
Wedding dress, c.1913. The fabric is an ivory silk chiffon, lined in white satin silk. The skirt extends mid-calf, the sleeves three-quarter length, and there is white beaded decoration on the bottom front of the skirt, as well as the front of the bodice. The silhouette of this dress shows the then fashionable shape of a raised waistline, as well as the poufed blouse front that was still popular. The fabric is light, flowy, and airy, but the cut has straight lines in features such as the bodice panels and large skirt pin tucks. The bodice closes via a panel that hangs down the front, attaches to the waist, and extends down the bodice back. There is an additional panel that attaches on each side front neck, forming a collar, and hangs down the back in a triangular shape. The front panel closes on the left side at the waist and at the left shoulder with snaps. There are two beaded floral starburst patterns, one each on the left and right side of the front bodice panel, connected with three curved lines. There is also a single line of white beads along the edges of the front bodice panel, and both back panels, including the front and side neck. The sleeves connect to the dress lining under the bodice panels. Each has a hanging panel around the elbow line which looks like four triangle shapes that point upwards, tacked above the elbow line. The cuffs are narrowed with a dart and two pin tucks, with a hook and eye closure on a bound placket. Around the waist, there is a belt that connects to itself with snaps, and is tacked to the waistline in the centre back. There are two snaps on the left side waist that may have once been used to secure the belt, but the belt no longer has any corresponding snaps. The skirt is somewhat gathered at the waist, more in the back than the front, and consists of three slightly flared gores. The front gore is plain except for a white beaded floral starburst motif near the bottom front. Three beaded tendril lines extend from either side, spanning the width of the front gore. The other two gores each extend from the side fronts to the centre back; they each have two three inch pin tucks, just above knee level and one below, that hang downwards and extend to centre back. The lining is attached at the waist, and hangs freely under the skirt. It has a front and back gore, as well as two triangular gores on each side starting at knee level. In the bodice it is attached at the neck and shoulders, where it attaches to the unlined sleeves. It closes on the left front with hooks and eyes. Inside the lining, the waist is reinforced with three inch cotton grosgrain ribbon which closes at centre front with hooks and eyes. The dress is sewn mainly by machine with french seams, although the four inch hem is hand sewn with a whip stitch. The sleeve pin tucks are also hand sewn. The length of the skirt lining was reduced just above its hem with a one inch hand stitched tuck.
