Vintage 1920's French Mint-Green Beaded Sequin Silk Chiffon Draped Flapper Dress

About the Item

A truly breathtaking French couture sparkling mint-green beaded flapper dance dress dating back to the mid 1920's. The magical mint-green color mixed with the unique gold deco clustered micro-sequins touches a deep chord in our collective aesthetic consciousness. As fashion lovers, we never tire from antique beadwork; it will always be fresh to modern eyes. I love the effortless drop-waist with skilled side draping. The entire skirting is then hand beaded with metallic tubular beads in the same metallic golden hue. This must have taken weeks to complete and the end result is magnificent. We added many detail pictures so one can appreciate this masterful achievement. Measurements Bust: 34 inches Drop Waist: 36 inches Total Length: 45 inches This French mid-1920's silk chiffon dress is in wearable condition with care. Presents beautifully. Slips over the head with no additional closures. After close inspection, we found some missing sequins, faint yellow marks to the silk and a few pin holes throughout. Please message for detailed pictures. I wouldn't be surprised if this creation was by a famous designer, as it has all the hallmarks of an haute couture piece from the era. A rare treasure you will cherish for years to come.

    By Saks Fifth Avenue
    Located in Beverly Hills, CA
    Ethereal late 1940's Saks Fifth Avenue creme goddess gown from the Old Hollywood era of glamour. This stunning silk-chiffon garment has so much couture detail, you can tell it was made with expert devotion. The boned sweetheart plunge bodice is hand-pleated and hand-stitched into place with a unique asymmetric one-shoulder draped train. As pictured, there are a few different ways you can style the sash. Sparkling white glass-beads and sequins, in a gorgeous vine motif, cascade down the front. I love the hourglass nipped-waist which flows into a beautiful full sweep. Truly, this gown would have taken days to finish. A pure work of art and a study in dressmaking technique which reminds me of the famous Jean Desses. Breathtaking and timeless; I totally imagine this gliding down the red carpet!
