This one-piece chemise dress has no fastenings; it would have been slipped on over the head. The waist is slightly low, and the skirt is made of floating panels overlapped sufficiently to cover the wearer, a popular design element for the period. Beginning to leave the boyish cut of the 1920s behind, the cut of this piece looks forward to the bias draping of the 1930s which outlined and emphasized the figure.
