الوصف: c. 1915-1918. One-piece black point d’esprit two-twist bobbinet dress with a black silk satin bodice trimmed with black organdy appliqués of flowers and leaves edged with black two-ply cord and braid, closing in front and at the side, with gold lace shoulder straps over three-quarter-length angel sleeves, and a tiered mid-calf-length skirt.

Both front and back are allowed to hang in soft folds between the shoulders, and come only to the natural waistline, leaving the rounded hem of the foundation layer visible.
