Description: 

Short evening dress, beige silk taffeta with low 'V' neck with stitched collar, fitted leg of mutton sleeves with four small covered buttons at wrist to match those down centre back of bodice, long zip at side seam. Short straight skirt is laced with organza and lined with silk. Closure on waistband are press studs and hooks and eyes. Pleated cummerbund is worn over skirt and bodice. Machine and hand stitching. 

History: 

This embroidered dress is a beautifully made and well-preserved example of 1970s couture, and is hand finished throughout.  It was worn with a beige pill-box hat, over-stitched in gold thread, with side feathers attached with a large, self-covered button (HT 87.1184).  The original owner, Mrs J K Ayers, is believed to be Peggy Gwendoline Ayers (neé Letcher), wife of John Sidney Ayers, and mother of John Ayers Jnr. Mr Ayers recently retired from the executive board of S Kidman & Co, Australia’s famous pastoralist company. 

The ensemble was donated by Mrs Ayers to be used in the South Australian Sesquicentennial Jubilee exhibition 'J150 - Those were the days', in 1986. The entire J150 costume collection was subsequently donated to the Migration Museum.

A Spitalfields silk dress with a dome-shaped skirt conforms not only to the silhouette of the 1730s but also to the interaction between silks and laces during that time, especially evident in Spitalfields manufacture. The silk pattern is like that of lace. While such interaction seems hard to imagine between worker and pattern book, clothing is a place where the various media ultimately converge. Eighteenth-century dress, in particular, was a Gesamtkunstwerk of artisanal and dressmaking skills. While most eighteenth-century dresses have been altered in some way for subsequent use, fashion historian Janet Arnold has noted that this one shows no sign of ever having been altered and is thus in its perfect original state.
