- AUTHENTICITY
A beautiful botanical themed full length silk gown of the frivolous flapper era. The semi-sheer black silk crepe chiffon bodice is decorated with sparkling black bugle beadwork in a moody scrolling vine floral motif. The elegant tubular silhouette ignores the natural curves and slinks straight from the scooped neckline to the hem. This gown is especially intriguing because it appears to have been reworked at some point, likely to keep up with the changing fads of the era. The original dress is a short tunic dress adorned with beading throughout the silhouette. At the hip line, inverted triangular panels have been attached around the figure to create a full length dress skirt. The two silk chiffons are nearly indistinguishable unless closely inspecting. We love this charming facet! Fashion is storytelling, etc. and now you have extra beads to match for peace of mind.
Very good vintage condition commensurate with 100+ year age and wear. Very light bead loss throughout and a teeny hole to note at the left breast near a small point of bead loss. Price reflects condition.
Fits like a modern XL or XXL.
Bust: 44"
Waist: 46"
