- Description
- Day dress, c. 1919. White cotton buratto lace. Mid-calf length, round neck, quarter length sleeves. This dress echoes the 1910s with its lace, natural waistline, and slightly poufed front; however, it also looks toward the 1920s with its straight cut and minimal shaping. The bodice has a row of embroidery going vertically down each side front. There is a scalloped closure on left front, which opens with a double row of snaps. On the bodice back, the two embroidery panels come together in a stepped V pattern, and the rest of the back is embroidered. Shaping in the bodice comes from side seams that angle toward the side back, creating more volume in the bodice front. The shoulder seams are also cut further back instead of sitting right on top of the shoulder. Each sleeve extends out of the bodice in kimono style, banded at the upper arm with a band of thicker weave and heavier weight white cotton fabric. Beneath this, the waistband pattern can be seen again: a band of embroidery bordered by lace. At the bottom of each sleeve there is one more band of lace. The waistline comes straight down from the square bodice; it consists of an embroidered panel bordered horizontally by two bands of lace. The bottom lace band is reinforced by a cotton tape on the inside. Gathered at the waist, the skirt has no other shaping. It is unadorned for the first two thirds, and then embroidery gradually reaches a scalloped lace hem. The dress is made almost entirely of buratto lace, which uses a foundation of twined weave fabric with the threads uniformly loose to produce a net-like base for embroidery. It is machine sewn, mainly with french seams, and unlined.

The dress has a low rounded V neck with a collar that extends around the bottom with a pleated edge sewn on.

The sleeves have two small pleats at the sleeves. The ends are finished with a bias binding and placket, closed by snap fasteners. At the waistline there is a wide band that extends around the front and back of the dress. On the front left there are two vertical pleated scalloped bands on the left. To the left of each scallop is a gold and silver coloured celluloid button with a basket weave pattern on it. Beneath the band at the waist there is a slightly flared skirt. It opens on the left front side, under lapped by itself from the other side and tacked in place. The skirt ends at calf length, finished with a small double fold hem. On the right sleeve cuff, there is a label that reads: `Style', `Cloth', `11763', `Size...42', `Operator... CGG', `Remarks', `89', `Finisher...26', `E'; "Deckelbaum Inc. Montreal." The seams are left unfinished.
- 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.
