Cocktail dress
The Silhouette Timeline traces how dress silhouettes change across the decades of the Costume Institute collection, drawn from the Metropolitan Museum of Art 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.
