- Description
- Dress, c.1925-1929. Navy blue rayon. Straight cut, circular collar with bow and brooch, long sleeves, blouse bodice, waist ties, pin tucks and two-tiered flounce at knee length skirt. The rounded collar is edged with royal blue and trimmed with two layers of a faux bow, each navy one side and royal blue on the other. The bow is held on by a metal rhinestone brooch. The sleeves have two small pleats at the elbow, and end in a placket and cuff with a snap. The bodice puffs out slightly at the dropped waist, and there is a waist tie sewn into each side seam. Besides the ties, the whole back of the dress is straight and unadorned. Below the low waistline, on the front, there is a band of narrow horizontal tucks. There are two levels of flounces below the band lined with cotton under the top flounce. On the lower half of the lining, there is a black strip that extends as a long tab on the inner right side of the skirt, and as a short tab on the inner left. Three "male" snap ends are sewn on to the end of the long tab. The paper label sewn into the left cuff "Size 18 / Deckelbaum & 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.
