- 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.

- Object History
- The donor's family were early settlers to Burnaby, and he worked for the BCER as an electrician. Donor was the original owner of the property that the Burnaby Village Museum now occupies. The writing slope was used widely in the 1800s. It was mainly used in the late 1700s during colonial expeditions, and military travel. It became very popular in Victorian times for lay people and used in many homes. It provided a portable desk, complete with a soft writing surface (felt or leather), compartments for ink, pens, and paper. It was considered to be a personal item, rather than a household one.
