Lord & Taylor

1912–13 · silk, metal, leather, synthetic, rhinestones, straw · Costume Institute

Despite that the dress is missing from this American ensemble, the remaining pieces characterize a chic style of the period. The stocking and shoes are dyed to match perfectly, with a jeweled heel adding visual interest, and making them unique to the early 20th century.
