Description
Dress with bolero jacket, c. 1930s. Black cotton lace with black silk chiffon slip. Sleeveless, low draped back, ankle length slightly flared at the bottom. Long sleeved lace bolero with metal brooch clasp. The dress has a round neckline in front that drapes into a deep V in the back. There is a magnet at the centre front of the neckline to hold up the metal clasp of the bolero. The bodice attaches at a fairly high waistline. At the front of the skirt, there is are two triangular sections that make up the top section; on the back, there is one triangular piece cut into the top section of the skirt. The rest of it is cut as a front and back section, with a slight flare at the bottom. The slip is cut differently, and may not be the original that went with the dress since it lacks the corresponding shoulder snaps. Each shoulder strap has five rows of smocking on the top. They meet at a triangle shape with gathering under the breasts, and at the back at the waistline in the same way as the dress. The skirt hangs in six gores which also flare out somewhat at the bottom. It is somewhat longer than the dress, visible at the bottom for several inches. The seams are unfinished. The bolero is long sleeved, gathered to cuffs at the wrist, with purposeful large holes at each underarm. It has two darts at the bottom back, and a triangular shape hangs down from the centre back neckline. The front angles down to points from each shoulder, where there is a silver metal brooch clasp with clear rhinestones. It is held up with the magnet in the dress, which gives the bolero front a draped affect.
Object History
This dress belonged to Mrs.Myra Mitchell, who lived in a senior's cottage housing complex located S.W. area off Canada Way and Edmonds. She passed away c.1961.
