Afternoon dress, C.E. Lee, Boston, 1888. Maroon velvet and ribbed silk. Memorial Hall Museum: Hand-stiched and machine-sewn, it was worn with a matching bonnet and illustrates an up-to-the-minute fashion for the late 1880s. Vestigial bustle built into lower back area of separate petticoat to provide skirt fullness. Princess-line silhouette. Eight pieces make up bodice, a testimony to intricate tailoring.
