This evening dress is an example of the ongoing fascination with Eastern and Middle Eastern cultures that prevailed in the early 20th century. The garment itself reflects a mix of influences with its caftan shape, batik-style print, and use of Chinese motifs. The finishing details reflect a high level of quality and the use of batwing sleeves are an intriguing feature.
