Description
Wedding dress, c.1907. Converted to day dress. Cream and white pouter pigeon bodice with lace and high collar. Full skirt and separate cumberbund. The shape of this dress is exemplary of the Edwardian pouter pigeon front, with a tiny waist to match. In museum records, there is a copy of the original wedding photo; on the back is written "shows dress before alteration to current state as day dress." The only readily noticeable differences are the absences of lace trim in the cuff and on the china silk bodice rosettes.
Object History
Made by Pattie Adelina Pearson, for her marriage to Charles James Mitchell in Gravesend, Kent, England on September 26, 1907. After, they travelled immediately to Canada, living in the provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta, her daughter and son being born in the latter province. Pattie moved to Vancouver in 1918, where with the exception of the period when she lived in Victoria, she lived until her death in October 1981 at the age of 101 years. She would have been 27 years old when she wore the dress.

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.
