Evening Wear Archive
The Evening Wear Archive gathers evening and formal dress objects from fifty houses in the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute, drawn from the Collection API (CC0) and refreshed monthly. Every record links its museum object page and carries garment family, era, season and significance labels; objects are described as cataloged, never appraised or priced.
