About the Item
From its rare beads to its scalloped hem to its wearable size, this Jazz Age gem is a “unicorn” among flapper dresses. Quite literally dripping with silver-plate hollow beads and crystals, it would have been a more refined—and old-money—version of the gowns Fitzgerald’s “bright young things” wore in the Plaza Fountain.
Sleeveless flapper dress with round front and rear neckline and dropped sash bow at left hip. Embellished all over with silver-plate hollow beads and crystal seed and bugle beads in an arabesque fern pattern; 6-string fringe of clear crystal seed beads hang from hip bow. Scalloped hemline trimmed in matching beads and crystals. Pullover construction with no closures of any kind; unlined.

Brown Regency Silk Crêpe Kimono Gown with Crystal Batwing Sleeves - Med, 1930s
Located in Tucson, AZ
Dignified and statuesque, this gown combines the modesty and rigor of a kimono with the body conscious glamour of the 1930s. The high cut asymmetrical bodice and inset obi waist detail keep it demure, but the fluttering batwing sleeves—dripping with tambour beading and Austrian crystals—are the real show-stoppers.

Poiret-Inspired Printed Silk and Gold Lamé Dress w Drop Rouleau Waist – S, 1920s
Located in Tucson, AZ
Clearly inspired by Poiret’s Irudrée gown of 1923 (pictured), this dress features the same dropped rouleau waist and emphasis on metallic lamé, but also incorporates aspects of his other work. The exotic mustards, blues and pinks of his 1002nd Night dress and the printed silks and velvets of his Orientalist capes are reflected in the luxurious hues and textures of this unique piece.
