This beaded dress, meant for a gala evening party, shows how the simple "chemise" form could be covered with decorative images like a painter's canvas. Here the designer of the dress has used exotic foliage as the central motif, rendered in brilliant color that reflects modernist ideas.
Unknown maker Gift of L. J. Cella III |
