Curator Notes
Fair condition. Silk taffeta has shattered. Also a possibility of sleeves later added to garment as evidenced by the type of material and ornamentation. Additionally, sleeves are distorting the upper portion of the gown. Wrinkles have been released as much as possible without damaging garment.
