About MeFull-length fawn and gold damask evening gown with fitted bodice and full skirt. This stunning creation made by Watt and Grant in the 1950s features a button-through design down the front of the dress as well as a sweetheart neckline. The material is patterned with metallic thread in a feather design. The dress was worn by the donor's mother Mrs Lawson to the 50th anniversary dinner of Lawson's bacon factory at Dyce, which was founded by the donor's father and uncle.
