Sleeveless Plum Floral Glass Bead Sack Dress with Gold Piping - M, 1920s
About the Item
A rare larger size for a Jazz Age garment, this incredible dress offers the comfort of a shift with the elegance of formalwear thanks to its lustrous glass beads. We love how the flowers are left unbeaded for extra depth and texture. Areas where beads were missing have been painstakingly re-beaded by hand with age-appropriate exact replicas of originals.
