Stunning antique 1920s dress in a rare fringed beaded style
Despite how popular culture associates fringe and the 1920s, few fringed examples have survived due to the heavy nature of the beads and the fragile nature of the silk. This one appears to have survived well because of the early rayon crepe fabric used
The beading is also in fantastic condition with very little bead loss
One darned hole as shown
Has not been washed (obviously. And I do NOT recommend washing)
The beaded fringe and swag motifs are done in silvered black beads
The “waistband” and bust details resemble a peacock’s feathers arranged like a tiara in blue, green, and red beads
Very beautiful example of this period of fashion
Has snaps on one shoulder and snaps at the flutter sleeves to give you the option of two sleeve styles
Up to 46” bust
40” dropped waist
50” hips
45” shoulder to hem
