crimplene dress
Description:
A long sleeve crimplene dress donated by Clara Ronayne. The dress is blue and white that has diamond patterning (diamond lines blue, surface white). It has a white zipper attached on the front, two straps on either side at the top, and a smaller strap attached with buttons on the back. The dress is made of cotton. Crimplene is a texturized continuous fiber launched in 1959, produced by modifying Terylene. The fabric enjoyed popularity upon its introduction in the 1960s in response to its convenient 'wash-and-wear' properties. Crimplene was often used to make the typical A-line dress of 1960s fashion. It was also popular amongst men in British mod culture for use in garish button-down shirts. In the early 1970s, Crimplene began to fall out of fashion. Other, lighter-weight polyester fabrics like Trevira replaced Crimplene for their ease of movement and ventilation. Crimplene is seldom used today as fashion preferences have drifted towards more natural cottons.

Port Pemberton was founded as a stopping point on the historic Harrison-Lillooet gold rush trail over 160 years ago.
30,000 gold-rushers passed through this region from 1858 to 1865 and Port Pemberton was an important stopping point for travelers making their way to Lillooet and the gold-fields beyond!
