- Description
- Dress, c.1920-1925. Brown crepe with false ivory taffeta undershirt and scarf. Long sleeves, pleated fringe, celluloid buttons, slightly flared calf length skirt. The dress has a low rounded V neck with a collar that extends around the bottom with a pleated edge sewn on. Underneath the collar there is a panel of ivory fabric with two sashes that hang to the waist, tied at the bottom of the V neck. The panel is tacked on underneath the neckline. The sleeves have two small pleats at the sleeves. The ends are finished with a bias binding and placket, closed by snap fasteners. At the waistline there is a wide band that extends around the front and back of the dress. On the front left there are two vertical pleated scalloped bands on the left. To the left of each scallop is a gold and silver coloured celluloid button with a basket weave pattern on it. Beneath the band at the waist there is a slightly flared skirt. It opens on the left front side, under lapped by itself from the other side and tacked in place. The skirt ends at calf length, finished with a small double fold hem. On the right sleeve cuff, there is a label that reads: `Style', `Cloth', `11763', `Size...42', `Operator... CGG', `Remarks', `89', `Finisher...26', `E'; "Deckelbaum Inc. Montreal." The seams are left unfinished.
- 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.
