My evening Bertha! Hi guys! I'm translating a short story from a writer of New Zealand and I have a problem with one sentences, because the CONTEXT it's out off my league, I hope you could explain me the meaning of the next uppercase words: ''Many times she had come back to fin her amethyst cross in the most unlikely places, under her lace ties or on top of her EVENING BERTHA. More than onces she had laid a trap for Kate.'' thanks for reading! :D

A ''bertha'' is a collar, usually attached to the top of a dress that has a low neckline. Es un cuello, hecho de encaje que forma parte de un vestido escote ! saludos Ciaran

You are right, this is mysterious. It has no standard meaning, I think. One can guess. Supposing she is looking in her wardrobe for the amethyst cross, and she looks on top of her best dress, Bertha's evening gown, her EVENING BERTHA.
