Afternoon dress

Terhune

ca. 1905 · silk · Costume Institute

This afternoon dress, made by Terhune of New York, differs in quality and construction from that of the French couture, but it has a distinctively jaunty feel and effective presence. The graduated dot motif of the textile has a particularly modern sensibility.
