Object: Ensemble

Designer: Yeohlee (born 1951)

Date: Fall 2009

Medium: Jersey and organza

Country: USA

Credit Line: Gift of Yeohlee Teng, Yeohlee

Object number: 2010.44.1

DescriptionBlack jersey long sleeve Ballerina body suit with scoop neckline, high cut leg opening and snap closure at crotch. Zero Waste shimmery black floor length sarong comprised of three layers of four ply organza with one iridescent layer of black organza sandwiched between two matte layers, all with raw unfinished edges.

Label Text:This sarong was made from lengths of organza that were stitched, folded, and wrapped around the body in a manner that wasted not even a scrap of material. Yeohlee’s non-intrusive approach to the use of fabric also extended to her frayed, unfinished hems that fan out and emphasize the gossamer quality of the fabric.
