Behind the design

Fogarty's holiday 1950–51 dress combines a fitted, long-sleeved bodice with a full skirt and narrow contrasting belt. A small collar adds a precise edge to the pale silhouette. The museum records rayon and leather and preserves the holiday designation as the documented collection period.
