Today is the first day of summer. Do you have your summer wardrobe ready? We took a look inside the Barbara P. Katz Fashion Archives here at MCHC and found this woman's summer day or tea dress of cream/beige silk gauze, circa 1900-1905.
You can view it from multiple angles in our Digital Collections portal by clicking on "Explore Digital Collections" in our bio, or by going directly to
