| Object history | Looking at the collection as a whole, this dress (which does not have a tag with designer initials) is closest in design ethos to the labelled Bianca Mosca blouse. The collars on both dress and blouse are identical in the back. None of the other items in the grouping have this particular collar construction, which would make the tentative attribution to Mosca credible. |
