- Description
- Wedding dress, c.1913. The fabric is an ivory silk chiffon, lined in white satin silk. The skirt extends mid-calf, the sleeves three-quarter length, and there is white beaded decoration on the bottom front of the skirt, as well as the front of the bodice. The silhouette of this dress shows the then fashionable shape of a raised waistline, as well as the poufed blouse front that was still popular. The fabric is light, flowy, and airy, but the cut has straight lines in features such as the bodice panels and large skirt pin tucks. The bodice closes via a panel that hangs down the front, attaches to the waist, and extends down the bodice back. There is an additional panel that attaches on each side front neck, forming a collar, and hangs down the back in a triangular shape. The front panel closes on the left side at the waist and at the left shoulder with snaps. There are two beaded floral starburst patterns, one each on the left and right side of the front bodice panel, connected with three curved lines. There is also a single line of white beads along the edges of the front bodice panel, and both back panels, including the front and side neck. The sleeves connect to the dress lining under the bodice panels. Each has a hanging panel around the elbow line which looks like four triangle shapes that point upwards, tacked above the elbow line. The cuffs are narrowed with a dart and two pin tucks, with a hook and eye closure on a bound placket. Around the waist, there is a belt that connects to itself with snaps, and is tacked to the waistline in the centre back. There are two snaps on the left side waist that may have once been used to secure the belt, but the belt no longer has any corresponding snaps. The skirt is somewhat gathered at the waist, more in the back than the front, and consists of three slightly flared gores. The front gore is plain except for a white beaded floral starburst motif near the bottom front. Three beaded tendril lines extend from either side, spanning the width of the front gore. The other two gores each extend from the side fronts to the centre back; they each have two three inch pin tucks, just above knee level and one below, that hang downwards and extend to centre back. The lining is attached at the waist, and hangs freely under the skirt. It has a front and back gore, as well as two triangular gores on each side starting at knee level. In the bodice it is attached at the neck and shoulders, where it attaches to the unlined sleeves. It closes on the left front with hooks and eyes. Inside the lining, the waist is reinforced with three inch cotton grosgrain ribbon which closes at centre front with hooks and eyes. The dress is sewn mainly by machine with french seams, although the four inch hem is hand sewn with a whip stitch. The sleeve pin tucks are also hand sewn. The length of the skirt lining was reduced just above its hem with a one inch hand stitched tuck.

- Description
- Wedding dress or perhaps a regular dress once worn as a wedding dress, c.1910. Made from a heavyweight beige cotton. Embroidered net collar and yoke, and embroidered front panel. Princess seams and pin tucks form a flared, pleated skirt. Long sleeves, and pink edging on some seams. The fabric is a heavy, somewhat glossy cotton that makes the dress seem more like an item to be for everyday activities instead of as a wedding dress. Its silhouette is distinctive of the late Edwardian period, with its higher waist, close natural shaping, and somewhat flared ankle length skirt. In the bodice, two pleats on each side front create fullness. The collar and yoke are made of netting, lined with white silk, edged with pink ribbon, and embroidered in an undulating pattern of lines. There are two small brown buttons (previously covered in pink fabric) on either side of the net yoke. Two pin tucks run the length of either side of the back bodice. The sleeves are full length, with gathered caps and nine 1cm pin tucks down the length of each. There are two false previously pink buttons on each cuff, which are also edged in pink. A two inch waistband extends from the centre front panel to the back. There is a previously pink button on each front corner, and the whole band is edged in ribbon. The top left button is missing. It has a pink lining on the inside. The skirt is made up of six gores, not including the centre front panel. The left and right side of the skirt each have eight pleats, released halfway down with pin tucks. On the centre back, a pin tuck on either side of the closure released a large inverted box pleat. A false hem is hand sewn at the bottom, and machine sewn at its top. The dress closes with hooks and eyes along the centre back, from the top of the collar to a third of the way down the skirt. On the centre front, there is a panel that extends from the shoulders to the hem, using princess seaming. It is edged along its seams with pink ribbon. It is covered in in a hand-applied ribbon of couched thread, as well as some embroidered french knot flowers down the centre front line. The dress is mainly machine sewn. Seams are finished by whip-stitching the seam allowances together when the selvedge is not used.

- Description
- Dress, c.1884. Beige silk taffeta and ivory silk floral brocade, mauve trim. Bodice with low square neck, half length sleeves with ruffle cuffs. Skirt with train, drapery around hips, ruffles down front. Trousseau for wedding. The bodice is made of beige taffeta, lined with white silk twill sewn together with the main fabric. It has a low square neckline. Its half length sleeves are attached at the armscye with a corded seam, and at the cuff they have a large pleated ruffle in mauve silk taffeta lined with the same fabric as the skirt. Besides this, there is no decoration on the bodice (it is noted in the accession file that the trim is missing from the bodice). Shaping comes from two darts on either side front and six panels in the back. There is boning in each dart and one in each side seam. The bodice extends to the hips, cinching in at the waist. At the centre back of the waist there is a white silk ribbon the extends to the left, and may have also been on the right as well originally. It closes at centre front with hooks and eyes. The skirt is made of ivory brocade with a sparse pattern of small pink floral bouquets. It has a grosgrain waistband that closes with two hooks and eyes at centre back. The opening in the skirt below does not have any closures. There are six gores, all sewn together with the cotton voile lining except for the centre front seam. At the top of the skirt there is a section of drapery (also lined in cotton voile) that circles around the hips to the side backs. It is ruched at centre front in three vertical lines. Under the drapery on the right side, there is a pocket with a cotton twill bag inserted into the seam. The skirt is heavily pleated at the back, where there is also a long train. The front or the skirt, extending to the front two gores, has a thin band of mauve ribbon right under the top drapery. Regularly spaced down the front of the skirt there are two rows of mauve pleated ruffles, like those on the bodice cuffs. At the hem there is another pleated ruffle that runs its whole length, made of the main dress fabric. The bodice is entirely hand sewn. The straight seams on the skirt are sewn with a chain stitch machine, and the rest is done by hand. The seams are finished with whip-stitching where the selvedge is not used.

- Description
- 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.
