1920s French Couture Pale Pink Beaded Deco Dots Sheer Silk-Chiffon Flapper Dress

About the Item

Undiminished by time, this 1920's ballerina slipper pink beaded flapper dance dress still casts its magical spell. This exceptional French beauty is fashioned in silk chiffon with lavish pink, ivory and metallic silver beading. I adore the bold deco dots motif worked in. The hand-crafted pattern is really unbelievable; it must have taken weeks to finish. The inner camisole in trimmed with sparkling lame lace. My favorite detailing is the scalloped hemline on the skirt which works flawlessly with the pattern. The skirt is actually made up of three intricate layers! We needed to add many detail pictures so one can appreciate the masterful achievement. Extravagant garments from the 1920's remain a perennial favorite, perhaps because no other period combined such opulence with such youthful flair. The playful drop-waist silhouette embodies the flapper's "party till dawn" attitude while the luxurious textiles whispers "wealth and status." The mark of a truly fashionable garment is that it remains stylish and timeless 100 years later, as does this couture piece. The pictures say it all. Measurements Bust: 34 inches Hips: 36 inches Total Length: 44 inches This 1920's French flapper dress is in excellent wearable condition with no stains or discoloration. I wouldn't be surprised if this creation was by a famous designer, as it has all the hallmarks of a couture piece from this era. Slips on over the head with no additional closures. Hand-stitching throughout. Only signs of age is wear to the inner camisole underarms. Please message for detailed pictures. A rare wearable investment dress that will only increase in value.

1920's Martha Weathered Couture Pastel Silk Rosettes Filet Lace Flapper Dress
Located in Beverly Hills, CA
A breathtaking museum quality bridal dance dress dating back to the mid-1920's. Two layers are cleverly designed to complement each other; a fine filet-lace outer layer with a foliate design over an ecru silk-crepe slip layer embroidered with pastel silk-ribbon rosettes. The rosettes are positioned under the filet-lace design so that they appear to be the blooms of the foliate in the lace! The overall effect is quite spectacular, and the dress has survived beautifully over the years. A small designer label in the interior reading "Weathered Misses Shop Chicago", which was the one shop in Chicago able to import French couture. The original owner of the garment said the shop was able to do this by selecting the couture designs overseas. After making their selections, the patterns and materials would be shipped over for fabrication in their own workrooms, allowed them to sidestep the hefty import tax on already completed couture models. The design and construction are identity to Callot Soeurs aesthetic who was known for working with wealth American clients. A rare piece of ethereal fashion history that will become a favorite in your collection.
