Description
Flamenco style theatrical ensemble designed for the Earl Carroll Vanities production of "The Havana Casino" in 1930. The costume includes a long-sleeved yellow bolero top featuring large frilled sleeve cuffs with red trim and what appears to be a red embellishment at the center chest, which is also found on the front hips. The top is worn with a frilled yellow skirt with train, as well as a yellow turban and what appears to be red frills or flowers attached to the back of the head.
