Elizabeth’s gown has a lavender taffeta bodice with shoestring straps. The front of the skirt is white nylon covered with a floral wisteria design while the back is lavender taffeta. There is a large lavender taffeta bow featured at the back of the waist. The gown has netting attached under the skirt for added fullness. A label on the gown states it was ‘Made for Emma Dorb of California’ 

This gown was worn by Elizabeth to a family wedding and then to many opening nights at the theatre.
