Lighter colours were often used for eveningwear as a departure from the darker more practical fabrics used for daywear. This two-piece evening dress made from a fine green striped silk is typical of the period. The bodice is a fitted v-shape with a square neckline and ¾ length sleeves. The skirt features an apron front and layers to give it volume, while there is padding at the back to form a slight bustle.
