The Valentine
Richmond, United States

Richmond resident Inger Rice wore this dress designed by Australian born, Jamaica-based fashion designer, Dorothy McNab, while accompanying her husband, Walter Rice (1903–1998), to an event celebrating Jamaica’s independence from England. The pleats of this gown are tacked down to a tailored inner shell creating a carefully controlled façade of classically-inspired drapery.
