Jerry Parnis was the sister of her more famous sibling Mollie.  She started designing in 1937 and her favorite fabric to work with was cotton.  She uses it to great effect in this dress from the 1950s.

  CONDITION: Excellent – Dress is freshly dry cleaned and ready to wear.  Netting petticoat has slits cut into it at the side seams.  A previous owner probably wanted to wear a fuller crinoline.  This is not visible when worn and does not affect the wearability of the dress in any way.
