- Description
- Dress, c.1920. Purple silk satin with lace applique on sleeves. High collar with bow, buttons centre front, slightly flared ankle length skirt. Bias side panels on skirt. This dress seems characteristic of an item that would appeal to its particular owner. Born in 1880, she is following 1920s trends somewhat with the straight cut and bias skirt inserts, but also staying true to the fashion of her youth that she is comfortable with: a high collar, longer skirt, scarf, and lace applique are all borrowed from her time in the belle epoque. Extending from the stand collar are two long ties that could be tied into a bow or square knot. Directly under this at centre front is the opening with thirteen self fabric covered buttons. There is a bust dart on each side front, and a welt pocket on each side front just above the hips. At a dropped waist, there is a somewhat flared gore on each side of the skirt that extends from side front to back. The skirt extends to just above the ankles, with a small double fold hem. Inside, the dress is unlined; its seams are finished with a whip stitch. The garment was likely made by its owner.

- Description
- Dress, c.1914-1918. White cotton pique. Calf length, three quarter length sleeves, buttons down centre front and up to neckline, waistband and cuffs. The tight collar is edged with a scalloped trim; the right side of the collar extends diagonally to the right, making a slight V neck, and turns down the centre front. The trim follows the line to the waistband. At each shoulder just before the sleeve, there is a pleat that opens up. On the front at the waistband, there is some gathering in the waistband, and some small pleats at centre back. On the bodice front right, there is a small pocket that ends in a triangle shape and is topped with scalloped edging. The sleeves are plain set-in, with fairly wide cuffs that turn up and are left open at the side. Down the whole centre front there is an opening. Each side has holes, but no buttons remain: on the right, regular button holes and on the left, small bound holes. The waistband is a two inch strip. Attached is the skirt in six slightly flared gores.

- Description
- Dress, c.1910-1913. Cotton lawn print in floral and checkered, with chiffon yoke, lace, and mauve satin silk waistband. Long tiered skirt, long sleeves, round neckline. The cotton lawn fabric has a white background with vertical stripes of black and white checkers; purple flowers with green stems intertwine around the vertical checkers. The neckline rounds into a slight V shape with a yoke of ivory chiffon on top of lace, which extends to the waistband. On the front and back right and left side of the bodice, there is a tab extending over the waistband from the bodice fabric, edged in lace. The bottom of the bodice is gathered to add some volume. The bodice is also open around the shoulders, edged with lace. There is a section of the main fabric underneath that connects to the lining. The sleeves are full length, with some volume. The cuff begins halfway down the forearm with a gathered lace ruffle. The cuff section is narrower, and ends with three snaps at the wrist and another lace ruffle. At the waist, there is a gathered mauve satin silk waistband, tacked on to the dress. The skirt is attached underneath in two tiers. The overskirt, attached to the bodice, has two somewhat flared gores and one godet on the right side seam from just above the knee to the calf. It also ends at the calf, and just above the hem there is a tiny band of drawn thread work embroidery. The bottom tier is attached to the skirt lining under the top hem; it is made up of four gores, all gathered. The lining to the dress is done in ivory china silk, and it extends into the sleeves. In the bodice lining, there are four bones to hold its shape: on in the centre front and back, and one on each side. There are six panels in the back and four in the front, all finished with flat felled seams. The centre front closes with hook and eyes, and the waistband is secured on top with snaps and a hook and eye; the left bodice tab is secured to the waistband with two snaps. The skirt lining is also china silk, closing down the left side front with snaps. The skirt also has a left side opening that closes with snaps. In each underarm there is a dress shield to protect the dress from perspiration. They each read: "Style 100 Trade Mark OMO. E. Y. 2. Odorless. No Rubber. Soak in cold soap suds, using good soap, scrub with a stiff brush, and rinse in clear cold water, shape carefully while wet, and dry thoroughly. Do not iron."
