description: Color photographs of a two piece black dress with the primary skirt missing. The bodice has a scoop neck on the black silk under-blouse. A black lace and netting over-blouse is built into a high neck with ivory lace, black sequin work, and accented velveteen pansies with lavender ribbon. The under-skirt was likely made of the same black silk. The over-skirt seen in the photographs is made of black polka dot netting with flounces at the hem, a train in the back, and adorned with sequins and tassels.
