Description: This is an early 30's evening gown in black and white windowpane silk taffeta. The fabric also has a black satin self stripe running over the windowpane pattern. My belief is the fabric is Edwardian and was used later or reused from an earlier gown. The dress has a square neckline with wide shoulder straps. Pleats fall from beneath the shoulder straps over the bust. 4 Gored skirt falls from the natural waistline. Side snap closures. Matching jacket has slits on either side of the center front, just below the neckline. This was probably used as a scarf slide or a double ended decorative button fastener. The jacket is open down the front. Long, dolman style sleeves are cut in one with the jacket and have a turned under finish at the wrists.
