About MeFull-length green cotton velvet strapless ball gown with a fitted boned bodice and full crinoline style skirt.
This very striking evening dress in an unusual olive green, is typical of the styles worn during the 1950s and early 1960s, when ball gowns with full skirts were made from lavish materials such as velvet and silk. The dress was purchased from London on behalf of the donor by Carsons of Union Street, Aberdeen and cost £27.
