1930's Beaded Rhinestone Black Sheer Silk Chiffon Billow-Sleeve Deco Dress

Undiminished by time, this early 1930's black beaded sheer silk chiffon dress still casts its magical spell. This exceptional couture beauty is fashioned in the highest quality black silk chiffon that has been lavishly embellished with glass micro-beads and prong-set rhinestones. I love the dramatic pointy collar and built-in waist sash. My favorite detail has to be the voluminous billow split-sleeves that start with intricate ruching at the shoulders and end with chic beaded cuffs. So unique and eye-catching. The exacting perfection of the zig-zag flounce skirting is beyond comparison. Pair with a vintage slip or a modern nude undergarment to showcase its delicate transparency. Extravagant garments from the 1930's era remain a perennial favorite, perhaps because no other period combined such opulence with playful elegance. A rare archival 'Old Hollywood' deco dress you will treasure for years to come.
