Dress

One lady's pale pink and green jacquard silk tea gown. The dress has a pink silk inset panel at the front which is gathered at the neck and waist. Hook/eye closures are located along the left side of the panel beneath the edge of the outer gown. A pink collar lays over tatting which extends like a vest over the green jacquard silk to just below the waist line. Tatting is also applied to the shoulders and long sleeves. Green jacquard silk is used to form a Watteau back. The full skirt is slightly longer in back than in front and is gathered so that a small amount of pink silk shows at the bottom. Ruffles are located at the neck, cuffs, and skirt bottom. No labels are shown.
