Lots 1-19 represent the wardrobe of two generations of women from the Kenefick and Graves families who lived in Buffalo, New York at the turn of the century. The majority of the garments were worn by Dorothy Dudley Kenefick, 1900-1973, and Mary Beaty Herod Graves, 1895-1990. They descended through the family of Germain Kenefick Graves and Nelson Montgomery Graves Jr., of present day Buffalo.
In overall poor to fair condition; fragile. There are tears and holes throughout notably to the bodice and the lining of the skirt. The pink tulle netting has darkened with age.
