1920s Black and Cream Silk Beaded Long Flapper Dress

About the Item

This incredible original 1920s black silk beaded flapper dress is in impeccable condition for piece of its era, with no damage to the intricate beadwork to note and a beautiful line. Sleeveless with a scoop neckline both front and reverse, the dress is arranged in 3 x tiers of fabric, an empire line beaded bodice, a plain black silk skirt and a wide beaded hemline with scalloped edging. The majority of the bead work consists of transparent rocaille beads which appear silver toned when they catch the light. The hem features a bold art deco pattern made up with an intricate arrangement of closely compact opalescent ivory and transparent bugle beads which again take on a metallic appearance in the light. At some point a modern zip fastening was added on the left side. There are no makers labels but the dress is of superb quality and exquisite workmanship. Extremely wearable, this beautiful piece is would best suit a US size 2-4, UK size 6-8.
