Evening Dress
c. 1929-1933
"A sea-green, crinkled rayon dress made by Mrs. Lilian Lipley who owned a small dressmaking business in Roman Road from 1922 to c. 1934 employing 8-10 local women and making for local clients. The dress is sleeveless with small asymmmetric gathering at bust to produce v-shaped neckline. The dress is cut in panels on the bias and, due to the fabric, is incredibly figure-hugging."
