About the Item

Full of opulent original details, rendered in the most luxurious fashion, this rare 1920's piece is a beauty to behold. Made in the most sumptuous black silk, and embellished with clusters of glass beaded daisies in shades of pink, lilac, white, blue, red, orange, silver and peach, this spectacular dress is sure to steal your heart. The soft bateau cut neckline is framed by wide shoulder straps, which boast gathered smocking stitches , that allow for the silk to drape in soft pleats along each yoke. The sleeveless cut, sets off the wonderful wide black draped silk, accented by a cluster of beaded daisies along the front right hand side of the neckline and bust-line. The simple straight cut of the skirt-line is finished by beaded daisy clusters to each side. The back of the dress features a timeless straight cut, which drapes into a wonderful train, and features clusters of daisy beadwork. This dress showcases the timeless elegance of the era.
