Rare, Angelic, Art Deco Antique 1920’s Silk Chiffon Dress in Peachy Pink Glass Rhinestones and Silver Microbead Tassles

Exquisite original 1920’s Art Deco drop waist dress made from the dreamiest peachy pink silk chiffon. This stunner features a scoop neck, front and back, a drop waist design topped with a unique bow detail. This bow is crafted with silk chiffon fabric, attached with two separate pieces of hanging chiffon fabric that is 4.5” wide (when gently pulled apart), finished with a hemline of antique micro beads in the form of tassels that hang 9.” This bow and tassel design is a unique design that I haven’t come across, but I adore it as it bring elegant movement, catching light with every step. A very unique crystal glass made letter “p” attached atop the bow. 

The bottom portion of the skirt is adorned with circular designs crafted from entirely hand sewn clear bugle beads. More silver bugle beads are sewn vertically around the circles, creating an overall design - which in my opinion - mimics rays of sunshine. Glistening, silver glass rhinestones are meticulously placed between the rays, inside the circles, between the rays above the bow on the upper portion of the dress. The lower portion skirt on the backside of the dress, is fit with the same bead designs found on the front of the dress. 

The dress has no hooks, it just slips on and slips off (quite easily). The silk is delicate, yet sturdy. This antique heirloom has a lot of life left in her and can be worn for a plethora of occasions, including wedding related events. Fashion historians, collectors of antique 1920's dresses, and those of you who have been looking to treat yourselves with something heavenly, you need this romantic and irresistibly feminine work of wearable art.

Sleeve opening: 10” (from shoulder seam to bottom)

Condition:

Excellent antique condition. The chiffon is soft, all of the bead are in tact, and it appears as though it was worn once and stored for over 100+ years. My tailor crafted slightly larger arm pit openings, as the original arm openings were incredibly small. Such a rarity for a piece like this. Price reflects condition and rarity.
