| Description | Gold silk satin formal dress. Cowl neckline, bare back in V shape. Buttons down center back, ruching in center front with a sparkly broach. Gathered off the shoulder strap sleeves with sparkly broaches at shoulders. Floor length dress, darts in back. "I made this formal in a clothing class my freshman year 1936-37 in college and wore it many times and loved it. I had a 'pretty back' everyone said. In spite of the low cut, it was modest even in those days." --Edith Snapp |
