Description: Uniform; women's jacket and skirt. Jacket in yellow, adorned with a B.C. Centennial badge with the offical emblem of a stylized grouping of the three "C's" representing Canada, Confederation, Centennial, with the provincial floral emblem, the dogwood, in the centre; two plastic buttons in tortoise shell design as centre fasteners; jacket style with lapels and two waist level pockets. Straight style short skirt in brown fabric.

Object History: The jacket and skirt were issued to female members of Burnaby's 1971 Centennial Committee. It is believed that these pieces belonged to Mary D. Trainer, who was the Centennial Co-ordinator hired to help organize a variety of community events to commemorate the 100th anniversary of British Columbia's entry into Confederation. Burnaby's Centennial Committee was chaired by Mr. James Barrington. The committee organized a variety of community events, including the construction of a Heritage Village (now Burnaby Village Museum). Mrs. Trainer altered her skirt to be shorter than the standard issue skirt: shorter skirts were a more fashionable look for a young woman at the time.

Accession Code: BV989.39.1

Description: Wedding dress, 1917. Cream silk, jacket and skirt. Sailor collar, long sleeves, loose cut with fitting, beaded brooch, pleats and button trim on both pieces. The V neck has a large square sailor style collar, with two self covered ball buttons on either side just below the collar ends. At the V point there is a beaded floral brooch with tassels. The sleeves are loose fitting, trimmed with eight buttons at the forearm and gathered to half a cuff. The centre front of the bodice has a bust dart on either side, and cuts off at the waist. Here a belt attaches around the sides, trimmed with four buttons at either side front and back. The bodice's ivory silk lining is not pleated, and it is not attached at the bottom. It closes at centre front with two slide snaps. On the back of the jacket, there is a large pleat on either side. Centre back is fully pleated, and the pleats are sewn down from the neckline to underarm level. At the waistline, there is a narrower band of fabric that joins the side belts together and holds the pleats in place. The back of the jacket extends to the hips, and the sides extend several inches further and each end in a point. The skirt, made with six gores, falls smoothly over the hips. It has a pleated ruffle at the top and a waistband reinforced with a large grosgrain ribbon on the inside. The centre back and centre front are pleated from the waist to hem, the pleats sewn down to the end of the hips. Each side is trimmed with buttons spaced evenly from the waist to hem. The skirt closes at the right side back with slide snaps and hooks and eyes on the grosgrain.

Object History: Photocopy of the original wedding photo is in the acquisition file. Worn by the donor's mother, Mary Edith Pearl Collum (nee Dillabough). She married Eli Wilbert Collum on June 20, 1917, in Winnipeg (she was 25 years old). They moved to Vancouver in 1936, then to Burnaby in 1938. Edith gave the dress to her son first for safe keeping, and then as an inheritance. She passed away February 1, 1989 at age 97 (born 1892).

Description: Wedding dress, c.1900-1906. Cream lace net lined with white china silk. High collar, pouter pigeon front, puffed sleeves. Comes with a long sash and matching skirt. The collar is made of several bands of lace. The bodice is also lace, with embroidery. On the front there is a pin tucked yoke, and bordering this on the front and back are circles of lace with line embroidery inside. Below this there are more pin tucks and bands of lace. The front puffs out creating a pouter pigeon bodice, and there is a gathered flounce below the waistline. It closes with hooks and eyes at centre back. The sash, a long yellowish-cream piece of silk fabric, would go overtop of the waist. The sleeves are gathered at the cap and again at the cuff. There are bands of lace at the lower forearm, and they end with lace flounce cuffs of the same embroidered circles seen on the bodice. The skirt has a lace top layer and a white china silk lining that is attached at the small waistband. There are tiny pin tucks in the lace layer at the waistband. Halfway down, there is a band of embroidered circles, the same as those on the bodice. They are separated by two bands of lace. There are two more of the same bands of lace near the hem. The net layer has three gores, and the lining has five. There are also two ruffles at the lining hem.

Object History: Donor acquired object in 1951 from the estate of her mother-in-law, Flora Isabell (McArthur) McOuat.

Description: Wedding dress, c.1909-1910. White cotton crepe with hand embroidery. Short bodice with pin tucks, slight pouf, and three quarter sleeves. Pleated ankle length column skirt. The bodice has a small lace edged V neck, and three pin tucks on each shoulder. Two of the pin tucks angle inwards and continue to the waistline. Between the tucks the bodice is covered with hand worked floral and ribbon themed embroidery. It is gathered at the waistband, creating a slight puff reminiscent of the recently out of fashion pouter pigeon bodice. The back of the bodice has three vertical pin tucks that extend from the shoulder to the waistband on either side of the centre back button closure, with thread covered buttons. There is a slight gather between the pin tucks and side back seams, from the panel under each arm. The sleeves are three quarters in length. They have turned up cuffs topped with embroidery and edged with the same lace as seen on the collar. The skirt has a sailor front opening with six thread covered buttons on either side of a centre front panel. Just past hip level, there are two accordion pleats on either side of the panel. There is a gore on each side and one on the back that flare out slightly; each has the floral and ribbon embroidery. On the back gore, there is a pleat on either side at calf level. The hem is ankle length.

Object History: From donor: "This was the wedding dress of my sister-in-law's mother, worn about 1905. They came from Maine. Made of cotton, hand embroidery, a typical "country-type" wedding gown of the period. It was given to me by my sister-in-law and I am only too glad to have it find such a welcoming spot in B.C.!"

Description: Wedding dress, c.1907. Converted to day dress. Cream and white pouter pigeon bodice with lace and high collar. Full skirt and separate cumberbund. The shape of this dress is exemplary of the Edwardian pouter pigeon front, with a tiny waist to match. In museum records, there is a copy of the original wedding photo; on the back is written "shows dress before alteration to current state as day dress." The only readily noticeable differences are the absences of lace trim in the cuff and on the china silk bodice rosettes.

Object History: Made by Pattie Adelina Pearson, for her marriage to Charles James Mitchell in Gravesend, Kent, England on September 26, 1907. After, they travelled immediately to Canada, living in the provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta, her daughter and son being born in the latter province. Pattie moved to Vancouver in 1918, where with the exception of the period when she lived in Victoria, she lived until her death in October 1981 at the age of 101 years. She would have been 27 years old when she wore the dress.

Description: Wedding dress, c.1911. Made entirely of white alencon lace. High collar with celluloid stays, floor length full skirt, and three quarter length raglan sleeves. The high collar with three celluloid stays is topped with a ruffled butterfly lace. Below this, the regular pattern for the rest of the bodice is used: two types of floral, and rows of tiny pin tucks. This continues horizontally through the triangular yoke in front and back; two panels on the front and two on the back angle from the shoulders to the waist, where they overlap and form part of the closure on the back. The hook and eye closure begins at the top of the collar and continues to just below the hips, with extra closures to hold the cross-over lace in place. The sleeves are raglan, cut in one piece with the bodice. At the cuffs, there is an insertion of vertically pin tucked lace net, bordered by the same lace that tops the collar. That lace also forms the waistband in two rows. Below it the skirt of lace net is heavily gathered in three rows of shirring. It flares out from there, and at about knee level it ends with three more rows of shirring. The lace below this returns to the type seen on the bodice, without the pin tucks. It is gathered to the net layer, and a band of the butterfly lace hangs over the gathers.

Object History: Belonged to the mother of Mrs.F.Nimo (donor), Mrs.W.Ford. She married July 6th 1911 in Nut Mountain, Saskatoon. They moved out to live in the Burnaby area, Marine & Royal Oak.

Description: wedding dress, c.1902-1908. White china silk. Pouter pigeon bodice with half length sleeves and cumberbund. Skirt is shirred at waist and flares out at lower half. This Edwardian wedding dress is made almost entirely of china silk. Usually a lining fabric, the Edwardians often used it for special occasions such as weddings to achieve a floating, puffed up silhouette without any bulk at the waist. The bodice has three layers of ruffles at the high round neckline. The bodice front has two layers to hide its hook and eye closures. The back of the bodice has two panels four pin tucks for shaping. At the shoulders, there are rows of shirring that continue into the sleeve. The sleeves are gathered again into a cuff at their ends. The cumberbund is shirred at each end, as well as in the centre with three rows of shirring. There are three stays at the centre and one at each end; it closes with hooks and eyes which are covered by bows. The skirt has multiple rows of shirring at the waist. It has three gores, including one at the centre front that extends from the waistband without any shirring. There are two godets at the back seam and one at each of the side seams that begin at hip level and continue until about calf level. Then there is a new band of silk shirred onto the skirt, with three horizontal tucks at the bottom; the last tuck forms the hem. It is self lined under the bottom shirred section, with an un-gathered lining.

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.

Description: Wedding dress or perhaps a regular dress once worn as a wedding dress, c.1910. Made from a heavyweight beige cotton. Embroidered net collar and yoke, and embroidered front panel. Princess seams and pin tucks form a flared, pleated skirt. Long sleeves, and pink edging on some seams. The fabric is a heavy, somewhat glossy cotton that makes the dress seem more like an item to be for everyday activities instead of as a wedding dress. Its silhouette is distinctive of the late Edwardian period, with its higher waist, close natural shaping, and somewhat flared ankle length skirt. In the bodice, two pleats on each side front create fullness. The collar and yoke are made of netting, lined with white silk, edged with pink ribbon, and embroidered in an undulating pattern of lines. There are two small brown buttons (previously covered in pink fabric) on either side of the net yoke. Two pin tucks run the length of either side of the back bodice. The sleeves are full length, with gathered caps and nine 1cm pin tucks down the length of each. There are two false previously pink buttons on each cuff, which are also edged in pink. A two inch waistband extends from the centre front panel to the back. There is a previously pink button on each front corner, and the whole band is edged in ribbon. The top left button is missing. It has a pink lining on the inside. The skirt is made up of six gores, not including the centre front panel. The left and right side of the skirt each have eight pleats, released halfway down with pin tucks. On the centre back, a pin tuck on either side of the closure released a large inverted box pleat. A false hem is hand sewn at the bottom, and machine sewn at its top. The dress closes with hooks and eyes along the centre back, from the top of the collar to a third of the way down the skirt. On the centre front, there is a panel that extends from the shoulders to the hem, using princess seaming. It is edged along its seams with pink ribbon. It is covered in in a hand-applied ribbon of couched thread, as well as some embroidered french knot flowers down the centre front line. The dress is mainly machine sewn. Seams are finished by whip-stitching the seam allowances together when the selvedge is not used.
