description: Color photographs of a two piece black satin dress, hand and machine made, with machine lace overlay, red accents, and machine made bead work. The bodice is lacking the front (probably removed with the intention to replace or enlarge and never completed); a lace collar and long sleeves are in place. The skirt is floor length, made of satin, lace, and machine made bead work panels, and bearing a with a beaded bustle. There is a striking red underlay panel in the front. It was probably worn with a crinolette keeping the volume at the back of the skirt.
