Scope and content
Dorothy Gervais nods smilingly at herself in the mirror, admiring the dancing frock that she is modelling for the Tacoma Times 1941 fall fashion edition. The gown is made of pale peach faille taffeta with a black lace bodice overlay to provide color contrast. The dress features a very full skirt flowing from the new lower waistline. (T. Times 9/10/1941, pg. 2)
