Ivory taffeta gown

One-piece ivory taffeta gown decorated with printed flower tendrils, red berries and green leaves. The bodice, with a shawl neck, is adorned with a figured green organza ribbon with leaf motifs and with three ivory liseré satin bows with small polychrome flowers. The three-quarter sleeves, tight down to the elbow, are embellished à sabot by a flounce in the same fabric, with undersleeves decorated with mechanical lace. The dome-shaped skirt is gathered at the waist. The gown is fastened at the back by a series of hooks.

Donated by the Confederazione Nazionale dell’Artigianato, 1987.
