- Description
- Evening dress, c.1930s. Burnt out silk velvet: cream chiffon base with white and brown velvet leaf pattern. High waist, floor length, sleeveless, flares towards bottom. This sleeveless dress has a round neckline. The bodice section uses bias shaping, with diagonal lines under each bust with a small amount of gathering. This forms a triangular shape that comes up into the middle of the bust, and at the bottom of the triangle the lines angle in again almost forming a diamond; before they do, the lines sweep out again to form gores on the skirt section. On the lower back, there is a zig-zag pattern to the seam. The skirt flares out to a floor length hem. At the top of each shoulder straps there is a small strap with a snap that would connect to a slip, but there is no slip present.

- Description
- Lace dress, c.1930. Black acetate machine lace. Short butterfly sleeves, calf length, flounce on right side. The dress is entirely made of black acetate machine lace in a floral pattern. It was meant to go over another dress, as it is very transparent. The neckline is round, and the shoulders are connected at a small section before splitting into the butterfly sleeves that were so popular in the 1930s. The dress flares out slightly, more so at the bottom, and ends at approximately calf length. Running down the front right side of the dress, from just under the shoulder to the hem, is a large triangular flounce. It has a triangular scalloped bottom edge.

- Description
- Nursing dress, c.1919. White cotton lawn and lace. Square neckline with large square collar, half length sleeves, and ankle length skirt. Straight natural height waist. A precursor to the 1920s straight shape, the dress has a gathered skirt and a bodice that is straight except for slight shaping via seam placement to create room in the front. The bodice front has a square neckline with a large square collar that extends from three quarters down the bodice and continues around the back of the neck. The collar is fillet lace in a floral pattern, and there is a fillet lace panel on the bodice centre front that extends from the neckline to waistline, and to either collar. The bodice sides and back are plain. Each sleeve is plain cotton, with a large fillet lace cuff that is attached in a semi-spiral to give it a draped effect. The seams on the sleeves are positioned slightly forward, and do not match the side seam position. The skirt hangs gathered from the natural waist. After a band of lawn, there is: a band of fillet lace, lawn with a large tuck, lace, lawn with a tuck, and large section of lawn hemmed up to the last tuck on the inside. Under the skirt, attached at the waistline, there is a built in pair of 'underwear' in soft tulle. There is a space for each leg, and it is open on the front. The tulle 'underwear' closes on the inside with snaps up the centre front, creating a narrower section around the waist. The main skirt closes up the side left with snaps, and along the left waist. The bodice also uses snaps to close along the left side of the fillet lace panel. Shaping in the bodice comes from side seams that angle towards the side back, forcing the front bodice to pouf out in front. There are also pin tucks on the shoulders that release fullness into the bodice, and the shoulder seams are cut further back instead of sitting right on top of the shoulder. The dress is unlined, machine sewn with french seams.
