A classic & rare 1920's party dress! It's a perfect combination of both the deco-style beadwork and the renowned flapper fringe! The dress is fashioned from black silk, and is decorated across the torso-area with micro-beads in shades of silver & grey's, with further paste stones. This exquisite deco design, is further mirrored across the back of the dress.

 

True deco-stylized garments & textiles are rare treasures, both of which are uncommon in the open market. The intricate beadwork pattern in this dress, is the epitome of marvelous deco fashion! The ethereal hand-beading is a testament to the dress's fine, up-market quality.

 

Thus, the black silk fringe completes the dress's party perfection! Applied across the shaped, lower waistline, and of a length which extends below the hemline of the dress, allowing it's fluidity to be easily noticed.

 

There are no fastenings, as it slips over the head, and doesn't require an underslip.

 

Measurements: Bust 36", Waist 34", Hips 37."

 

The condition is Excellent- there is of course minor bead/paste loss (it would be impractical to expect any beaded garment of any age to have all beads intact), though 98% of the beads are all intact. The only thing worth a mention is that some of the paste stones are not fully secure, but intact, the beadwork is very well intact. The chiffon is strong and shows no signs of weaking. It's a rarity to find fully beaded textiles such as this, in as excellent of condition!
