Description
Ivory silk dress with raglan short sleeves and an inverted pleat down the front. There are white and clear rhinestones sewn around the collar and onto the front of the dress forming a necklace and 3" brooch. A tag says Maisonette and that it came from Dayton's Oval Room. The Oval Room was a legendary posh stop on the third floor of the downtown Minneapolis Daytons. It was a place where moneyed ladies could sip tea while dropping thousands of dollars on a single blouse.
