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.

Description
Sun dress, c.1930. White cotton with embroidery on bodice and around bottom of skirt. Three quarter length sleeves, loose open back. Full calf length skirt. The open weave cotton material has embroidery in the art deco style. The bodice is hand sewn together along the embroidery lines, with a round neckline and a back that drapes open in a low hanging V shape. The sleeves have more of the same embroidery at the cuffs. The back closure, just to the right of the centre, begins with an overlapping snap and two hooks and eyes at the waist. It continues with hooks and eyes to below the waist. The skirt is machine sewn from one panel, heavily gathered all around the waist except for a section in the centre back. It continues until it reaches calf length, and ends with embroidery at the hem.

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
Woman's suit, c.1892. White linen with hand worked embroidery. High collar, long full sleeves, flared floor length skirt, puffed bodice front, long ties in bodice back. The high collar has point de gaze lace edging, and is covered in hand worked floral embroidery. Down the centre front of the bodice there are four tiny pin tucks. There is more floral embroidery on either side front, and a large tuck on either side of that covering the shoulder seams and angling slightly towards centre front. The tucks continue down the bodice back on the same way. On the top back of the bodice there are seven more tiny pin tucks on either side. Down the centre back there is an opening with five white pearl buttons. At the bodice back bottom there is some gathering covered with a long tie on each side. These may have been used to tie around the front, which would otherwise hang open around the waist. The sleeves have some volume, although they lack the large leg o' mutton cap. They are gathered at the cuff, which has a band of floral embroidery and is edged in point de gaze lace. The separate skirt has a grosgrain waistband and opens down the centre back with four snaps and a hook and eye at the top. There are five gores, with floral embroidery down the centre front. The dress is unlined, and the seams are finished with a whip-stitch.
Object History
This suit was worn by Bertha May Shaw in 1892, likely in Regina, Saskatchewan.

Description
Bodice, c.1902-1903. Black net with silver thread, black velvet, and and black embroidery, white silk under layer. Three quarter length sleeves, high collar, pouter pigeon. The high standing collar has four stays to keep it upright. It has an under-layer of white silk, and an over-layer of embroidered net like the rest of the bodice. At the neckline and shoulders, the net is gathered and pleated, as well as at the waistband, so if will puff out. At the centre front of the bodice there is a floral motif in black thread, and that is surrounded by tendrils of silver metal thread embroidery, with loops filled in with black velvet. At the back of the bodice, there is silver and velvet embroidery at the top near the shoulders. Beneath, there is floral embroidery in black thread. The embroidered net on the sleeves is gathered at the top and sides of the armscye, and at the cuff. There are two ball buttons at the cuff covered in metallic tulle, and the cuff itself has two layers of gathered net ruffle; the outside layer is black and the inside is white. The bottom of the bodice has a round shape in the back, and curves downwards to the centre front. It has a heavy waistband made of eleven silver metal cords attached as a flat ribbon. There are two buttons on either side of the centre back closure, the same type as on the cuffs. Inside, the bodice is lined in white cotton. It has nine bones and a centre back closure of hooks and eyes, with a separate set for the lining and the outer fabric.
Object History
The donor donated the bodice and other items after the death of her mother in West Vancouver. The items had been stored in the donor's basement since she was young. The bodice belonged to her grandmother, who lived in Edmonton until about 1905, and was used by the donor to play dress-up.

The bodice is cut straight, falling just past the natural waist, with volume added through pleats and gathers. At each front shoulder there are gathers, as well as along the bottom front. At the bottom back, there are pleats. The neckline is trimmed with embroidery in a leaf pattern, done in black floss. At the centre front it dips down in a square neckline, with a beaded panel starting at the bottom of the square.

At the bottom of the bodice there is a sash that covers the pleats and gathers, and extends on the left side where it may have been tied. The sash also closes with a snap, one on the sash ties and two more at the point where they close on the bodice. There are also snaps on the left shoulder. Inside, there is a black china silk lining that closes at the centre front with hooks and eyes.
