Deep rich wine red silk velvet flapper dress with a a gold bullion simple tubular bodice revealed by fully open sides that meet at the waist. One side with velvet loop with bullion underside for holding a rectangular panel attached to swag ending of back bodice. Bullion is sewn into velvet overdress at a variety of points, and therefore a bit of an undertaking to remove and clean velvet separately (note: if a cleaner dares tell you that they will treat or clean bullion fabric in any way, you'd best find another cleaner). Original hemline was let down and has been simply tacked back at the original position.
A few very minor spots of wear to velvet, but unlike so much 90+ year velvet, has not become crushed. 3 or 4 pinholes viewable only by putting your head inside and holding up to a light. Had noticed a dark spot and now can't find it again - so much for that, obviously not very obvious. There is a spot on the darker tarnish on the bullion that is under the dress. Pinked arm openings can be retacked in a few places. Bullion top has simple selvedge edges and has thin red silk ribbon straps a la vintage lingerie or underslips.
A dead-sexy winter and holiday dress.
