Materials: Gold metallic lace, peach silk lace, silver-pink
glass beads, peach China silk lining.
Condition: Excellent; nearly
perfect. Lace edge around neckline has had two small very discrete
repairs. There is a small 1/2" tear in the lining. Rest of the dress is
in immaculate condition.
Measurements: Sh-Sh, 14"; B,
36"; H, 36.5"; Dress L, 45"; Hem C, 110".
Comments: I love the 1920s for the
simple clean silhouettes made with amazing
fabrics and beading. The dress offered here is very special. The
gold lace has a small floral pattern which is set off by the peach silk
lining (visible under the gold). A very soft peach silk lace is inset
into the dress. This lace has a stylized and eccentric Deco pattern.
Both the dress hem and back capelet end in alternating scallops of the
gold and peach laces. At the drop waist is a 3 inch band of beading.
Small, faceted silver-pink balls form the background of the bead design;
starbursts of twisted bugle beads are inset into the overall design. The
effect of the pink-silver beading on the gold and peach laces is
magical!
