This dress originally had a Paris designer label, but unfortunately
the family didn't know what it was, and it has since been lost. Pimento
red/orange chenille rib velvet. Extremely narrow through the hips. It has
been altered, and let out through the hips, since no one today has been
able to get into it otherwise. The bodice back has an intricate design
of openings, and center band. However, since all forms of closure/fasteners
are missing, it is difficult to fully determine how the design was intended.
Circa mid 1930's. |
