Elegant French Art Deco Sequin Gown

About the Item

Elegant and timeless French Sequin Art Deco Gown sewn on cotton tulle. Nude iridescent gelatin sequins cover the entire gown completely. There are sequined Art Deco diamond motifs above the knee which then flare out into a full trumpet skirt below. A simple attached capelet of sequins covers the shoulders. There is even a weighted metal ball chaining inserted into the hem so the drape and fall of the dress are long and lean. These French period dresses sewn on a stretchy cotton tulle base are stronger than their silk counterparts and wear well. Gown pulls over head. XS-S size. 1930's France. Very Good condition.
