Vintage 1920's Couture Burgundy Red Beaded Sheer Silk Scarf-Tie Flapper Dress

About the Item

Vibrant flapper dresses from the early 20th century are perennial favorites and this one is a show-stopper! The garment's simple unstructured style is so modern; the fine deco floral beadwork is a treasure trove of needle art. This beauty, fashioned from gorgeous burgundy-red silk, is lavishly embellished with shimmering silver and ivory glass beads. I love the chic scarf-tie neck flutter sleeve bodice. The exacting perfection drop-waist skirting is beyond compare. What a breathtaking party dress for a stylish woman, who uses her clothing as the material from which to create a work of art. Measurements Bust: up to 38 inches Hips: up to 44 inches Total Length:50 inches This 1920's antique flapper dress is in nice condition for age with no stains, discoloration or repairs. Gorgeous hand-finishing throughout. Only sign of age is some minor missing beadwork and tears by the shoulders. Please message for any additional images. I wouldn't be surprised if this creation was by a famous designer like Chanel or Worth, as it has all the hallmarks of a couture piece from this era.
