Evening dress

Martha Weathered, Inc.

ca. 1925 · silk, metal, rhinestones · Costume Institute

The varied light-reflective qualities of silver lace, silver lamé and rhinestones give this evening dress a festive and glamourous quality. Martha Weathered was a high-end women's retailer on Chicago's Michigan Avenue; this piece is an example of a good American-made 1920s dress.
