  • 1920's Embroidered Black Sheer Mixed-Lace Beaded Art Deco Motif Dress

    ID: 0622241
    Size: medium
    Condition: excellent

    There are lots of lovely antique garments still around, but every once in a while I come across one that is definitely a showstopper.  This is an extraordinarily beautiful 1920's sheer black mixed lace dance dress in stunning wearable condition which is becoming harder to find. Hundreds of glossy gunmetal silver glass beads and impressive black corded embroidery cover most of the sheer dress in an absolutely stunning large-scale deco floral motif. The garment's simple unstructured style is so modern; the skillful embellishment is a treasure trove of needle art. I especially love the front beaded fringe pleated skirt detailing. This workmanship is of the highest quality and must have taken weeks to complete. We added many pictures because words can not fully describe all the details of this masterpiece. A wearable work of art!

    This 1920's antique sheer-net embroidered dress is in beautiful wearable condition with no stains, discoloration or holes. The garment slips over the head with hidden snaps by the upper back. The level of work on this piece would only be found in the highest couture of today. This dress is a 100 year old truly sensational, wearable investment.
