Gift of Muriel King
Object number71.268.16
This day dress is a good example of the simplicity inherent in many of Muriel King’s designs. The precise cut and exquisite Rodier wool negate the need for additional embellishment. Demure dresses, such as this one, allowed King’s clients to indulge in a bit of luxury while observing the tasteful restraint called for during troubled economic times.
DescriptionDark grey day dress in Rodier wool crepe, rounded collar, squared in back, short sleeves with cuff; top stitched seaming down front in V; black leather buckle belt
