Label: Woven cloth, sewn in shoulder seam: "French Hand Made" Condition: Excellent to perfect. Two tiny holes in the netting at the back beaded net area and a few missing jet beads around the armholes. Measurements: Sh - Sh, 14 1/2"; B, 36"; W, 34"; Dress L, 46"; Hem C, 106". Probably a size 6. Comments: This late 1920's dance dress is quite wonderful. Except for the revealing open neck and back areas, the entire dress is covered in glittering sequins and jet beads. I have photographed the dress over a nude color slip (not included), to best highlight the unusual neckline. A single tiny red glass bead is partially hidden in the back skirt, indicating that this dress is completely hand beaded (see bead next to yellow pin-head in photo). The sequin pattern is very deco in its design, consisting of overlapping concentric semi-circles, outlined in jet beads. The semi-circle pattern is repeated in vertical gored bands which gives the skirt an incredible swing. This is a dress needed to be seen on the dance floor!
