Untitled, (Allie Mae Burroughs)
Photographs, Cotton Thread
'By cut they are almost identical; by pattern of print they
differ, but are similar in having been carefully chosen, all small and sober,
quiet patterns, to be in good taste and to relieve one another’s monotony. I think it may be well to repeat their
general appearance, since it is of her individual designing, and is so
thoroughly a part of the logic of her body, bearing, face and temper. They have about them some shadow of
nineteenth century influence, tall skirt, short waist, and a little, too, of
imitation of Butterick patterns for housewives’ housework-dresses. But by other reasons again they have
her own character and function: the lines are tall and narrow, as she is, and
little relieved, and seem to run straight from the shoulders to the hem low on
the shins, so that the whole dress like her body has the long vertical of a
Chartres statue.'
James Agee and Walker Evans , Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, 1941
