Dress in transparent yellow gauze over a satin skirt of the same colour and bodice in natural cotton lace, decorated with vitreous paste beads in different sizes.

The change of silhouette which emerged around 1910 can be seen in this dress with its vertical emphasis, adopting a new style corset which materialized the idea of the liberated female body, a new concept promoted by some of the leading couturiers of the time, especially Poiret.
