- Description
- Day dress, c. 1919. White cotton buratto lace. Mid-calf length, round neck, quarter length sleeves. This dress echoes the 1910s with its lace, natural waistline, and slightly poufed front; however, it also looks toward the 1920s with its straight cut and minimal shaping. The bodice has a row of embroidery going vertically down each side front. There is a scalloped closure on left front, which opens with a double row of snaps. On the bodice back, the two embroidery panels come together in a stepped V pattern, and the rest of the back is embroidered. Shaping in the bodice comes from side seams that angle toward the side back, creating more volume in the bodice front. The shoulder seams are also cut further back instead of sitting right on top of the shoulder. Each sleeve extends out of the bodice in kimono style, banded at the upper arm with a band of thicker weave and heavier weight white cotton fabric. Beneath this, the waistband pattern can be seen again: a band of embroidery bordered by lace. At the bottom of each sleeve there is one more band of lace. The waistline comes straight down from the square bodice; it consists of an embroidered panel bordered horizontally by two bands of lace. The bottom lace band is reinforced by a cotton tape on the inside. Gathered at the waist, the skirt has no other shaping. It is unadorned for the first two thirds, and then embroidery gradually reaches a scalloped lace hem. The dress is made almost entirely of buratto lace, which uses a foundation of twined weave fabric with the threads uniformly loose to produce a net-like base for embroidery. It is machine sewn, mainly with french seams, and unlined.

The skirt has decorative seaming that extends from the sides at hip level, and curves down at side fronts. Here they fall straight down to the hems. On either side at the bottom of the dress, there are three rows of flounces. The flounces and hem are also self bound with half centimetre binding, and hand finished. There is extensive detail in the finishing on each hem and seam. The faggoted seams are entirely hand sewn, and each ruffled hem is also bound and hand finished.

- Description
- Dress, c.1910. Black satin silk, ivory lace yoke. High collar, three quarter length sleeves, black lace, embroidery, and ruffle trim, floor length with an overskirt. The high lace collar has stays, and it continues into a yoke on the front and back. The centre front and back bodice beneath this have gathered panels, in a V shape on the back. Beneath this on the front, there are two rectangles joined by a faggoting stitch. On either side there are four round black velvet buttons, and on either side of that there is a black ruffle that extends over the shoulders to the back waist. Attached to the ruffle is a band of black lace, and on centre front below the rectangles there is a large appliquéd piece of black embroidered lace. The sleeves are fairly fitted. They are ruched and taper down to a slightly more fitted cuff, edged with gathered ribbon and a band of lace. The waist is at natural height, without any cinching. It is defined by a black ruffle on either side and a band of lace at the front and back. At centre back there is a black appliqué that is the same as the one on top of the waist at centre front. There are also three pin tucks at either side of the centre back, extending from the appliqué on the overskirt. At the centre front of the overskirt, there is a black ruffle that extends to its hem. At the hem, the ruffle curves down on either side front and angles into two square shapes at either side back. The underskirt has six gores; at calf level, the main dress fabric is attached. The bodice closes up the centre back with hooks and eyes. Beneath there is also a lining that closes separately with hooks and eyes at the centre back. It has seven featherbones encircling the top of the waist. The overskirt, underskirt, and waistband close separately with hooks and eyes at the back left.

- Description
- Dress, c.1925-1929. Red cotton backed silk velvet. Straight draped cut, sleeveless, draped collar, knee length. Bag of scraps with dress on hanger. This dress is handmade, and even includes the leftover scraps. The neckline is a wide scoop in the back with five pin tucks. The shoulders are gathered in the front, and smooth in the back. The front neckline is a V shape, perhaps a lopsided V, depending on how the snap closure that has since come off the right side was positioned. The left side of the V neck has two pleats. There is no shaping at the waist, but the right side of the dress is gathered up to the left at dropped waist level, and fixed with a large rose decoration with a filigree and white jeweled broach. At the right seam, it is also gathered into several pleats, with an extended section that drapes down outside the right seam. The hem angles down to the right slightly. The right and left sides of the dress are left open except for the section gathered under the rose decoration, overlapping on the left side by several inches. The edges are faced with red silk chiffon.

- Description
- Dress, c. 1921-1925. Blue wool crepe dress without shaping. A pink scarf is attached to the collar, and there is a false undershirt. This dress is in the typical straight shape and mid-calf length of the first half of the 1920s. The subtle motif of three scallops in the skirt, lapel, ties, and cuffs is typical of the period's art deco design. The only shaping in the garment comes from tiny darts in the shoulders; a few pleats in the centre front as well as the loose fit of the garment allows the wearer to walk with ease. The collar is low and rolled, with pink silk forming the public side. The underside is of the same fabric as the dress. The collar extends on either side in long strips that can be used as a tie or scarf. The ties end in the scalloped pattern of three bumps. Lapels extend on the bodice to just below the bust area, with three gold metallic buttons on the left side. Under the lapel opening is a false undershirt in the same pink silk as the collar. It closes with snaps, under false ivory coloured buttons with a pinwheel design. About two inches below the spot where the lapels meet, there are also belt loops on either side of the dress to indicate a dropped waist, although there is no waist shaping. The belt is not present. Where the lapels come together, the line of the right lapel continues downward diagonally to the left front. It then returns to the centre in a scalloped diagonal pattern, and at each scallop a new pleat extends into the skirt. The sleeves are plain except for the cuffs, which repeat the scalloped pattern of the lapels and skirt. There is one gold metallic closure on each cuff. The skirt ends with a false hem, which is hand sewn. There are quite a few hand sewn finishes to keep the dress in place, especially with the false undershirt, but it is mainly machine sewn. The seams are finished with a serger.
