Lamplight on the cobblestones, ripples of Mendelssohn coming from the big brick townhouse on Louisburg Square. Its late December, party-time among the Brahmins. Inside the warm salon, a collective eyebrow arches slightly when a young woman enters wearing this dress, instead of the usual long, late-Edwardian gown; what to make of such a thing? Mr. Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., standing by the cut-crystal punchbowl, is observed to smile. Ah well, then, yes, there you have it. We do indeed appear to be entering a new era, and thats just that. Beacon Hill Dress (No. 2020), ca. 1913, acquired at an antique shop on Charles Street. Exact reproduction in pure silk satin, lined in silk. Abundant hand-beading and rhinestone appliqué. Beaded tassels, waist, and triangular side panels. Anachronistic zipper in back. The sleeveless style, deep V-neck, and rising hem put it on a course that ultimately leads to bared, rouged aknees. Sizes: 4 through 16. Color: Champagne.
