Vestido de baile que pertenceu à rainha Maud da Noruega. O corte do traje segue a tendência em voga na moda feminina do início do século XX, também conhecido como Era Eduardiana. Maud era a filha mais nova do rei Edward VII do Reino Unido com a rainha Alexandra. Ela se tornou soberana consorte da Noruega em 1905, após a dissolução da união deste país com a Suécia pelo parlamento norueguês. Seu marido, que era príncipe da Dinamarca, foi escolhido como novo rei Haakon VII. Atualmente, a fabulosa coleção de vestidos da rainha Maud se encontra em exposição no Museu Nacional da Noruega.

Among her projects was Dronningens Hjelpekomité (the Queen's Relief Committee) during World War I.
