DescriptionDark navy blue college uniform dress in wool with pleated skirt and detachable collar in light blue silk
Label Text:This dress was issued to female students of Marymount College during the late 1920s. It includes a patch with the school’s initials, but in lieu of men’s tailoring elements, utilizes a bold collar and necktie reminiscent of sailor suits. Fused with a fashionable drop-waist silhouette, students got a modern and sophisticated aesthetic.
