- Description
- Dress, c.1925-1929. Red cotton backed silk velvet. Straight draped cut, sleeveless, draped collar, knee length. Bag of scraps with dress on hanger. This dress is handmade, and even includes the leftover scraps. The neckline is a wide scoop in the back with five pin tucks. The shoulders are gathered in the front, and smooth in the back. The front neckline is a V shape, perhaps a lopsided V, depending on how the snap closure that has since come off the right side was positioned. The left side of the V neck has two pleats. There is no shaping at the waist, but the right side of the dress is gathered up to the left at dropped waist level, and fixed with a large rose decoration with a filigree and white jeweled broach. At the right seam, it is also gathered into several pleats, with an extended section that drapes down outside the right seam. The hem angles down to the right slightly. The right and left sides of the dress are left open except for the section gathered under the rose decoration, overlapping on the left side by several inches. The edges are faced with red silk chiffon.

- Description
- Dress, c. 1921-1925. Blue wool crepe dress without shaping. A pink scarf is attached to the collar, and there is a false undershirt. This dress is in the typical straight shape and mid-calf length of the first half of the 1920s. The subtle motif of three scallops in the skirt, lapel, ties, and cuffs is typical of the period's art deco design. The only shaping in the garment comes from tiny darts in the shoulders; a few pleats in the centre front as well as the loose fit of the garment allows the wearer to walk with ease. The collar is low and rolled, with pink silk forming the public side. The underside is of the same fabric as the dress. The collar extends on either side in long strips that can be used as a tie or scarf. The ties end in the scalloped pattern of three bumps. Lapels extend on the bodice to just below the bust area, with three gold metallic buttons on the left side. Under the lapel opening is a false undershirt in the same pink silk as the collar. It closes with snaps, under false ivory coloured buttons with a pinwheel design. About two inches below the spot where the lapels meet, there are also belt loops on either side of the dress to indicate a dropped waist, although there is no waist shaping. The belt is not present. Where the lapels come together, the line of the right lapel continues downward diagonally to the left front. It then returns to the centre in a scalloped diagonal pattern, and at each scallop a new pleat extends into the skirt. The sleeves are plain except for the cuffs, which repeat the scalloped pattern of the lapels and skirt. There is one gold metallic closure on each cuff. The skirt ends with a false hem, which is hand sewn. There are quite a few hand sewn finishes to keep the dress in place, especially with the false undershirt, but it is mainly machine sewn. The seams are finished with a serger.

- Description
- Evening dress, c.1910-1913. Black silk taffeta and sequined, beaded net. Square neckline, short sleeves, long flared skirt, high waistline, floor length hem. The entire dress is black, with a sequined and beaded net layer over a taffeta layer. The sequins and jet beads are black as well. At the centre front of the gown, there is an extensive, elaborate jet beaded applique that covers the small area from the neckline to the raised waist. The same type of beading hangs from the neckline on the bodice back. On either side there are sequins and beads, underneath a gathered net that extends to the shoulders. A triangular piece of beaded and sequined net is attached to this, and it all drapes over the tucked net sleeves which have net ruffles at the ends bordered by a line of beading. At the directoire waistline, there is a wide satin ruched sash. The skirt beneath is sequined and beaded in increasing density towards the hem. Underneath the net, the taffeta layer has four gores, and an added section at the hem. There are three layers at the hem: gathered chiffon, pleated taffeta hemmed with lace, and two layers of taffeta interlined with cotton to stiffen it and bound closed with twill tape. The bodice is lined with white cotton, with two bones on either side and five bones at the front. At each underarm there is a dress shield that reads "Best American Make / The Best / Kleinfeld / The Gem." There is a black patterned twill tape belt at the high waistline, attached at centre front, that closes with two hooks and eyes. The taffeta part of the dress closes at centre back with hooks and eyes on the bodice, and with snaps at the skirt. The net layer closes over top of that on the back left with snaps. The ruched waistline also closes at centre back with snaps.
