- Description
- Evening dress, c.1910-1913. Black silk taffeta and sequined, beaded net. Square neckline, short sleeves, long flared skirt, high waistline, floor length hem. The entire dress is black, with a sequined and beaded net layer over a taffeta layer. The sequins and jet beads are black as well. At the centre front of the gown, there is an extensive, elaborate jet beaded applique that covers the small area from the neckline to the raised waist. The same type of beading hangs from the neckline on the bodice back. On either side there are sequins and beads, underneath a gathered net that extends to the shoulders. A triangular piece of beaded and sequined net is attached to this, and it all drapes over the tucked net sleeves which have net ruffles at the ends bordered by a line of beading. At the directoire waistline, there is a wide satin ruched sash. The skirt beneath is sequined and beaded in increasing density towards the hem. Underneath the net, the taffeta layer has four gores, and an added section at the hem. There are three layers at the hem: gathered chiffon, pleated taffeta hemmed with lace, and two layers of taffeta interlined with cotton to stiffen it and bound closed with twill tape. The bodice is lined with white cotton, with two bones on either side and five bones at the front. At each underarm there is a dress shield that reads "Best American Make / The Best / Kleinfeld / The Gem." There is a black patterned twill tape belt at the high waistline, attached at centre front, that closes with two hooks and eyes. The taffeta part of the dress closes at centre back with hooks and eyes on the bodice, and with snaps at the skirt. The net layer closes over top of that on the back left with snaps. The ruched waistline also closes at centre back with snaps.

- Description
- Two original pressed poppy flowers in frame; Handwritten inscription in black ink reads: "Poppies from Battlefield of Givenchy. Gathered in 1916. Presented by Mr. Randle Taylor, 102 C.E.F." Two poppies are mounted on beige coloured paper beneath a piece of glass, within a wooden frame, painted black.
- Object History
- The poppies were gathered on the battlefield of Givenchy in 1916 and presented by Mr. Randle Taylor, 102nd Battalion C.E.F. Randle Taylor (1881-1963) was a Canadian citizen and resident of Vancouver. Randle Taylor volunteered for service on February 15, 1916. The Battle of Givenchy took place between December 18 and December 22 in 1914. The 102nd Battalion CEF was authorized on December 22, 1915, originating from Northern British Columbia. The Battalion embarked for Britain on June 18, 1916 and disembarked in France on August 12, 1916 where it fought as part of the 11th infantry Brigade, 4th Canadian Division in France and Flanders until the end of the war. Red field or corn poppies grew wild in clusters on and around the battle zones in the regions around Belgium and France. In May 1915, these vibrant red flowers caught the attention of a Canadian soldier by the name of Major John McCrae and inspired his poem "In Flanders Fields". During and after the war the poppy and its connection with the memory of those who died in that war was expanded to help the military and civilian survivors of that war.
