- Description
- Dress, c.1920s. Navy blue wool serge. Straight cut outer wear, no waistline. Long-sleeved, V neck with collar, small pockets, flounce decoration with buttons at centre front. Calf length. This dress was probably meant for cooler weather, since it is made of warm material. The V neck has a collar that comes to a small point at each shoulder, and extends into small revers. Directly below the collar at centre front there are six plastic navy buttons, without any buttonholes. On each side of the buttons there is a navy silk crepe flounce edged with royal blue crochet lace. On each side front below the waist there is a small welt pocket. Slightly above this, waist ties are sewn to the outside of the side seams. Besides the addition of sleeves, there is no shaping in the garment. The sleeves are plain except for a cuff with a small placket opening, secured by two snaps. Stapled under the left side of the collar is a price tag with "7.50" handwritten on it, and "Kimball USA" printed.
- 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.
