This assembled ensemble consists of:
1. Dress. Full-length. High neckline, slight V-shape. Front yoke/bib panel of fine needlework geometric shapes and patterns, in orange, purple, green, and blue. Front of bodice with four large embroidered rosettes of silver couching with orange silver/white, and black borders. Over-length, wide sleeves of patchwork of materials, including red, purple, and pink. Cuffs of heavy silver couching with central band of small circular mirrors in needlework frames. High, narrow waistband of silver/gold couching. Front of skirt formed of thin black fabric heavily gathered to form voluminous front panel. Wide band of red fabric lining inside of front panel at hem. Back of bodice formed of red cloth with vertical white stripes. Embroidered panels under arms. Back of skirt formed of upper panel of purple printed with blue and off-white flowers and leaves, heavily gathered into waistband. Lower panel of purple fabric, as full as upper panel. Black hem on back of skirt.
2. Headpiece of silver set with glass and plastic(?) rubies and emeralds, center plaque with glass segments simulating lapis and jade(?). Central circular plaque with central red circular glass "stone" surrounded by 6 alternating triangular green and blue glass plaques forming a star. Star is encircled by ring of glass (plastic?) simulated rubies and emeralds. Outer openwork border. Extending above central plaque and connected by 4 small metal bar-shaped links is a triangular plaque set with same simulated rubies and emeralds. Extending horizontally from central plaque on either side are three rectangular metal plaques set with same simulated rubies and emeralds. All plaques connected by metal bar-shaped links. Hanging below connected plaques is fringe of short metal chain sections terminating in hollow spheres. The plaques are sewn to a narrow black cloth band designed to fit around the head, with another black cloth band running behind upper triangular plaque to back of head, connecting with band at back. Along the upper edge of the black fabric where the plaques are sewn is beaded border of tiny red and blue beads.
3. Necklace of ornate silver with glass simulated rubies and sapphires, and coins. "Dog-collar" style necklace of elongated vertical links that interlock. At ends are triangular plaques set with small circular simulated rubies and sapphires, with plain loops for securing. Spaced across collar are 7 attached flowerhead-shaped ornaments with large central oval glass gems surrounded by tiny tear-drop shaped mounts set with circular simulated gems. From three of the flowerheads are hung silver mounted coins, from the other four flowerheads are suspended triangular plaques set with circular simulated gemstones, and a final "fringe" of flower-shaped and star-pierced pendant forms and a fringe of silver chain ending in a sphere. The entire dog-collar section also has elongated chain/sphere fringe. The three coins are from Afghanistan, commemorating the 1974 Islamic Summit held at Minar, and are dated 1977.
4. Earrings. Pair of heavy pendant earrings of silver-colored metal and glass. Bail loops suspend a roughly semi-circular silver plate with collet-set glass sapphires, emeralds, and rubies. From lower edge of plate are suspended small clusters of flat silver shapes and small spheres. Earrings do not match exactly.
5. Pendants. Pair of pendant plaques of silver set with simulated gemstones. Each plaque is trapezoidal, almost triangular. Central artificial stone (one emerald, one sapphire) within border of smaller simulated stones (rubies, emeralds, sapphires). In corners of panel are set single artificial stones. Outer band of stones. Chased outer edges. Upper edge with applied loops/roundels with suns/flower-heads. From bottom edge of each plaque is a fringe of chain ending in hollow spheres. One plaque (sapphire center) has a coin suspended from loop at left and right side of plaque. One of the coins is from Iran, minted before 1980. No visible marks or hallmarks.</p>Envelope for Butterick Pattern2020-07-20T08:07:33-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1704126/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1704126/"><img alt="Envelope for Butterick Pattern" title="Envelope for Butterick Pattern" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1704126/small/"/></a></p><p>Envelope for a Butterick pattern to make a shirtwaist dress with center front button closure, four-gore skirt, drawstring detail on below elbow length sleeve, and belt, including illustrations of the finished pieces and information about sizing and construction on the back.</p>Envelope for Butterick Pattern #30512020-07-20T08:07:33-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1704146/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1704146/"><img alt="Envelope for Butterick Pattern #3051" title="Envelope for Butterick Pattern #3051" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1704146/small/"/></a></p><p>Butterick pattern 3051 to make blouses with various necklines and sleeve styles, including illustrations of the finished pieces and information about sizing and construction on the back.</p>Envelope for DuBarry Pattern #50702020-07-20T08:07:33-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1704081/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1704081/"><img alt="Envelope for DuBarry Pattern #5070" title="Envelope for DuBarry Pattern #5070" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1704081/small/"/></a></p><p>DuBarry pattern 5070 to make a dress with tucked shirtwaist-style bodice, short or long set-in sleeves, front button closure, peter pan or bow collar, and gore skirt, including illustrations of the finished pieces and information about sizing and construction on the back.</p>Envelope for DuBarry Pattern #51362020-07-20T08:07:33-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1704190/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1704190/"><img alt="Envelope for DuBarry Pattern #5136" title="Envelope for DuBarry Pattern #5136" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1704190/small/"/></a></p><p>DuBarry pattern 5136 to make a dress with front closure, rounded or convertible collar, long or short set-in sleeves, hip pockets, flared skirt, and day length, including illustrations of the finished pieces and information about sizing and construction on the back.</p>Envelope for McCall Kaumagraph Transfer Pattern #7982020-07-20T08:07:33-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1703958/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1703958/"><img alt="Envelope for McCall Kaumagraph Transfer Pattern #798" title="Envelope for McCall Kaumagraph Transfer Pattern #798" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1703958/small/"/></a></p><p>Envelope for a McCall Kaumagraph Transfer pattern to make embroidery and appliqué floral designs on suggested items such as sheets and pillowcases;
