- Description
- Dress, c.1925-1929. Brown silk crepe. Long sleeves, large ruffle along bodice, pin tucks beneath a dropped waist, and pleated knee length skirt. At the point of the V neck there is a black and bronze coloured metal brooch with seven white/clear rhinestones. Along the right side of the V neck there is a large pleated ruffle: it continues down the diagonal line to the waistline, ending in a bow. The sleeves have a small pleat at the elbow. The cuffs close with snaps. The bodice has a slight pouf at the dropped waistline. Below that there is a slightly lighter panel that ends a few inches later with a diagonal line that travels from the left side down to the right. The bottom half of this panel is covered in tiny pin tucks on the front that follow the lower diagonal line. The skirt is attached to this lighter band, and covered in small pleats in the front. Its knee length hem is a small double fold in front and a larger 6 cm hem in the back. Under the bodice front there is a cream-coloured cotton underlining sewn into the shoulder and waist seams, to allow it to puff out at the waist. On the right sleeve cuff there is a tag that reads, "Decklebaum & Eisenberg / Montreal."
- 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.
