Garnet Red Velvet Dress, 1943
This red velvet dress was worn by Carol Krueger (wife of famed football player Bobby Layne), to have her portrait painted in 1943. The long fur-cuffed sleeves were removed from the dress after the portrait was completed.
Some of the features of the dress are the scoop fur lined neckline, the full skirt and the row of three velvet bows down the front of the bodice.
