- Description
- Wedding dress bodice, c.1900. Green silk taffeta. Trimmed with black lace and green bows. Standing collar, leg o' mutton sleeves, small puff at front, shirring at waist. The bodice has a standing collar covered in black lace, and a flounce of the same lace going down each side front. The shoulders are shirred with a self fabric bow at the front of each shoulder. The sleeves are heavily gathered at the armscye to create a puff at the shoulders, which tapers down to a fitted width at the wrist. There is no cuff, but there is a small slit so that the wearer's hand can fit through. The bodice has a box pleat at either side of centre front and one at centre back; each connects to the shirring at waist level, which extends as far as the pleats on both front and back. Beneath this, the bodice flares out as a peplum and ends at the hips. Inside, the bodice is lined in brown cotton. An inner lining closes at centre front with hooks and eyes, and the front of the bodice (which is lined itself) closes with hooks and thread eyes at the left side. This continues up to the shoulder, and the collar closes at centre back.

- 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.
