Hearst Museum object titled Dress: bodice and skirt, accession number 7-7282a-c, described as Dress, 1902. Watered silk taffeta, pattern in blues, with pattern of watery blotch that resembles a rose blossom. a) Bodice: long slender rounded sleeves. Brocaded black dots. high standing collar trimmed in cotton batiste or linen lawn that is decorated with an eyelet pattern of a quatrefoil. Two rows of ruffles trimmed with black tape. The front is filled with matching linen or cotton that has a single ruffle down the front also trimmed in black tape. Square tabs fall over this center embellishment. The tabs are trimmed with silk braid and linen edging. Beneath the tabs, but above the waistline is a silk satin pleated decoration with three yellow metallic buttons. Each sleeve is decorated with a tab, as on the front it has the same tape and edging and there are two buttons per sleeve. It is unlined and the boning has been removed and the waistband has been removed in the back. The armpits are rotted. b) Skirt. Made of the same fabrics as the bodice. It is unlined (stripped of lining). skirt was cut later possibly to fit someone shorter as the bottom flounce isn't faded. The waistband has been picked out. Vestiges of this waistband in the front. Two hanging tabs were inserted on the skirt. Any means of rejoining the bodice and the skirt have been completely removed. The decorative interest in the skirt comes from a triple layering of fabric above the hem. Each layer is decorated with a series of squared tabs, similar to those on the bodice. These tabs are backed with a band of light purple velveteen. The bottom band has been removed and it is item "c".
