Striking circa 1920s evening gown. The silk color is pale peach.

Classic Art Deco geometric design of this dress is disrupted by a "wild" pink metallic flower with long silver metallic vines.

Design features silver-lined glass beads and large clear rhinestones.

How it is constructed:

This is a double-layered dress-and-tunic.  The tunic is  wider than the dress, with long, beaded arm openings that show the inner portion of the dress.   The two layers (dress and tunic) are connected at the shoulders and at the neck opening, otherwise one nicely drapes over the other.

Delightfully, the metallic vines and the flower are flexible ( there is some underwire), you may give them any shape you desire.

Dress portion:

Length - 40"

Shoulders - 13 1/2"

Underarm to underarm in front - 17"

Waist - 32" (round)

Condition:

 Very good.

No stains, no discoloration,  no holes, one tiny pinhole between rhinestones and beads, not noticeable.Minor trim repair under one arm.

Looking inside of the dress, behind the hem beading I found a vertical repair, not visible from the outside. 

Small number of beads are missing. Some loose beads were restitched by hand.
