This dress, which has seen much wear, was found in a closet with
other Tirocchi family garments and may have belonged to Laura Tirocchi
Cella. The heavy "peasant-style" embroidery around the neckline
harks back to the work of Paul Poiret in the early 1910s.
Possibly A. & L. Tirocchi, makers
American, Providence
After Paul Poiret
