- Description
- Bodice, c.1900. Black silk taffeta. Trimmed with velvet, net, sequins, beads, and embroidered applique. Leg o' mutton sleeves, high collar. Skirt: BV985.3515.1. The entire bodice is black, and the net seems to come pre-embroidered with sequins and beads. The high collar is covered with the embroidered net, and edged with velvet on the top. On the centre front of the bodice, there is a different net with strips of velvet that run horizontally at intervals. The lace is gathered at the neckline and at the waistline to create a puff at the bodice front. Hanging from each shoulder with the corner pointing to the elbow is a square of sequin and bead embroidered net, edged with a strip of velvet. Another strip of velvet attaches to that one with a faggoted stitch. The sleeves are set in at the armscye, but gradually come out to huge pleated puffs at the elbows. They then taper back to the wrists, where there is a small split. Here a flounce of net hangs, trimmed with a ruffle of black taffeta. On the outside of the cuffs, there is an applique of maple leaf embroidery. At the waist, which comes to a slight point at the centre front, there is a belt of three velvet strips. At the centre back, there are three triangle shaped formations of bead on a metal frame, one on each velvet strip. There are six of these at centre front (one on each side of the hook and eye closure) and there are two on each side, where the strips are gathered slightly on top of each other. Inside, the bodice is lined with brown, white, and green striped taffeta. There are fifteen feather bones on the sides and back. The bodice closes up the centre front with hooks and eyes, and the collar wraps around the back to close there with two hooks and eyes.

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 centre front it dips down in a square neckline, with a beaded panel starting at the bottom of the square. It is made up of back and white glass beads in a diamond pattern on a black net background. The panel is in a shield shape. The sleeves are loose fitting, with black floss embroidery around the cuffs in a looping pattern. 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.

At the edge of the right front there is a pleated ruffle of satin ribbon. The embroidered section is also bordered by a satin ribbon on each side. The sleeves are heavily gathered at the sleeve cap, creating large leg o' mutton sleeves. They taper down to the wrists, which also have some of the same embroidery as the centre front bodice, just before the cuffs. The cuffs do not have an opening.

- 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.

- Dress, c.1925-1929. Green silk chiffon. Straight cut, button trim, lace collar and cuffs with embroidery, long sleeves, yoke above pleated and ruched knee length skirt. This dress is good example of the ever shorter and more transparent clothing that was being worn by rebellious young women toward the end of the 1920s. The round neckline has a rolled collar of beige lace that ends a few inches over the shoulders. At the front, it has abstract floral embroidery in blue, green, pink, and black. At the centre front of the neckline there is a bound slit with three self bound round buttons on either side. They close with thread loops from the right side that go around each left button. The sleeves flare out slightly into a bishop sleeve gathered to the cuff. They have the same type of embroidered lace on the cuff as on the collar. At the centre front of the bodice, there is a rectangular panel appliquéd with gold top stitching. Directly beneath, there is a yoke that circles around the back and comes up to a point at centre front. On either side of a dropped waist, there is a vertical row of three self covered round buttons with three thread eyes, creating a small fold in the fabric. The skirt is a plain tube with a front and back panel, and another panel that hangs on top extending to the side backs. This top panel is ruched with three lines of gathering at the centre front, and it is permanently pleated on either side of the ruching to the side backs. The ruched panel dips down slightly in a curve, and the whole panel is finished with a zig-zag stitch.

- Dress, c.1925-1929. Navy satin rayon. Straight cut, long sleeves, round neckline, belt, and embroidery applique. Slightly flared knee length skirt, straps hang from shoulders. There is no collar on the rounded neckline. There is a small placket closure with a snap at the left shoulder. Coming from each shoulder seam is a one inch hanging strap. It extends to the dropped waist where there is a band of art deco style embroidery appliqued to the dress. It is brightly coloured in brown, orange, yellow, blue, and navy blue. The straps are tacked down here, with three pleats hanging from the ends. A few inches above the embroidery there are thin waistband sashes sewn into the side seams. The sleeves are gathered into cuffs trimmed with embroidered ribbon in blue, pink and white on a black velvet background. It does not match the design of the band across the front. There are self fabric ties on the sleeve ends, tied at their base, but no opening in the cuff. Attached at the dropped waistline, the skirt is flared slightly in one panel, using a semi-circular flounce. The back of the dress is all one piece, without any shaping and without a break at the waistline. There is a six inch hem at the back and a small double fold at the front. Most seams are finished with pinking. A price tag on tie on left sleeve reads on one side: "18 / 139[or 137]" and on the other side: "fgg / 14.00[crossed out] / $12.00/8." This may mean it is a size eight, selling for $12.00 (marked down from $14.00).
- Object History
- This dress was part of a collection of dresses acquired from a dry goods store in the Okanagan. The dresses were mainly "new" old stock from the 1920s, from two Rand’s Dry Goods stores in Penticton and Summerland, B.C. The stores closed down in 1930. The dresses are estimated to date from circa 1925 to 1930.

- Dress, c.1910-1913. Cotton lawn print in floral and checkered, with chiffon yoke, lace, and mauve satin silk waistband. Long tiered skirt, long sleeves, round neckline. The cotton lawn fabric has a white background with vertical stripes of black and white checkers; purple flowers with green stems intertwine around the vertical checkers. The neckline rounds into a slight V shape with a yoke of ivory chiffon on top of lace, which extends to the waistband. On the front and back right and left side of the bodice, there is a tab extending over the waistband from the bodice fabric, edged in lace. The bottom of the bodice is gathered to add some volume. The bodice is also open around the shoulders, edged with lace. There is a section of the main fabric underneath that connects to the lining. The sleeves are full length, with some volume. The cuff begins halfway down the forearm with a gathered lace ruffle. The cuff section is narrower, and ends with three snaps at the wrist and another lace ruffle. At the waist, there is a gathered mauve satin silk waistband, tacked on to the dress. The skirt is attached underneath in two tiers. The overskirt, attached to the bodice, has two somewhat flared gores and one godet on the right side seam from just above the knee to the calf. It also ends at the calf, and just above the hem there is a tiny band of drawn thread work embroidery. The bottom tier is attached to the skirt lining under the top hem; it is made up of four gores, all gathered. The lining to the dress is done in ivory china silk, and it extends into the sleeves.
