Description
This black silk chiffon 1920’s beaded dress is covered in intricate designs with hematite-colored glass beads. It is a real beauty, in very good to excellent condition, in a surprisingly larger size, approximately a modern size 14. Some of the close up photos of the beadwork have been lightened to show details. The dress comes with its original black silk satin slip, and all of the measurements have been taken, to fit loosely, from this slip. There are too many lovely details about this dress to describe, so I’ll let the pictures do the talking, and only attempt to describe the few flaws: a very few missing beads, a tiny spot of fading (see pic) and the slip has been mended (this will obviously not show if the dress is worn).
