Wedding Dress
early 1915 (made)
| Artist/Maker | |
| Place of origin |
Cream crêpe-de-Chine dress with a beaded embroidered waistband. Ankle length dress with long sleeves with frilled wrists, and a V-neckline. Wide silver bead embroidered waistband. The skirt is in two layers with the overskirt open in the front and edged with beading which appears to have been a later addition, as there appears not to have been enough fabric to the beading, and so the back hem of the skirt is somewhat crudely and randomly tucked and pleated to make it fit the length of applied beading.
