2006.55.6
This mini dress is made of commercially knitted fabric, black with touches of metallic gold. The neckline is scooped, dipping low in the back. There's a large, flounce as a collar (12.75" in depth); it goes all the way around the neckline (dipping low in the back) and fastens in the front with one small button. The skirt falls from a slight dropped waist. The skirt proper seems almost flounce-like. The long sleeves are slender at the top with a large flounce (similar to the one at the neck) from elbow to the end (cuff).
Donor believes this dress was purchased in Oakland.
