This one is cut low in front and high in back, but is shown with a long scarf twisted and wrapped around the front at the waistline. This is also an early 20's piece. The caption says, "Thus a Parisienne interprets the Oriental Spring, - in a rich frock of satin and brocade, which narrows harem-fashion at the foot and crosses brilliant red beads over certain waste spaces that occur chiefly at the back." The "certain waste spaces" must refer to "bare skin"-ha! Don't you love the overly delicate phrasing!?)
