This vintage Art Deco midnight blue velvet ruffled skirt silk applique drop waist dress dates from the 1920s. It is made of a luxurious dark midnight blue color silk velvet fabric with a ruffled skirt and blue, cream silk wrapped rope round beaded center medallion applique trim detail on the front neckline. This beautiful blue dress has a loose fitting drop waist style with a layered ruffled short skirt, V front neckline trimmed with a bit of lace edging bullseye roundel medallion applique, short puffed sleeves and is unlined. The dress measures 40 inches long, with a 36 inch chest, 38 inch waist, 38 inch hips and a 15 inch back. It is in good as-is condition, with a few frays, small repairs on the ruffled skirt, some frayed silk on the applique trim and the velvet nap pile under the arms is worn with thinning fabric (see close-ups). This is truly a wonderful piece of Art Deco wearable art!
