Department Store Jay-Thorpe, Inc.

Not on view

The strong visual appeal of this evening ensemble comes from the stunning contrast of colored stones against a brown ground. Emblematic of evening ensemble from the period, it displays high-quality workmanship, especially in the elegant gathering on the skirt front. Jay Thorpe was an important women's specialty retailer, offering both imports as well as custom-made goods.
