Description

Mabel Graney's frock features three-quarter-length sleeves and a thin tan belt. The dress has a low square neckline with piping on the sleeves.

The skirt displays a decorative split stitch in a swirl design. The dress includes a cotton wadding interfacing between the top taffeta and the purple taffeta lining. The straight, fitted bodice complements the full skirt, and a metal zipper runs along the left side.

Belt loops encircle the waist, and the thin tan belt features fabric on top, a layer of plain weave cotton, and a stiff layer of material mimicking leather.
