Curator Notes

Good condition. Evidence of conservation attempt at some point in garment history. Fabric covering buttons and button loops disintegrating, therefore the back has not been buttoned all the way. A weight has been sewn onto the neckline to create the cowl shape. The NRA label indicates the National Recovery Act voluntary program initiated by Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1930s.
