Marjorie Merriweather Post commissioned this gown and matching cape while living in New York City with her husband E.F. Hutton. The three-piece ensemble, consisting of a tubular slip, sleeveless dress, and circular cape, captures the flair of the Art Deco period of the 1920s with its geometric patterns and bright colors. Bequest of Marjorie Merriweather Post, 1973 |
