1920s

This sweet little number is guaranteed to make you the belle of any Deco era ball! 

Fashioned in a blush-almost-bubblegum pink silk crepe, this beautiful evening gown features a ruffled boatneck accented with black velvet bows, ruffled waistline also accented with velvet bows and a ruffled skirt hem.

The rolled hem at the bottom of the skirt and on the shoulder ruffle has been carefully and evenly hand tacked giving the edge a scalloped appearance. 

Dress has no closures and must be pulled over the head to wear. Wearer must be smaller than the garment measurements below to wear.

Overall the dress is in wonderful, sturdy, wearable shape. It does have a few cosmetic flaws including a small 1/2 inch stain near the waist on the front and 3 pinpoint black stains near the bottom back of the skirt (See last photo). The skirt ruffle in the front looks like it may have been splashed by a puddle. It has faint dark watermarks around the bottom. All of these flaws would require close-up inspection to be noticed. None of these flaws detract. Priced accordingly. 

The devil is in the details with this red hot little number! If you are looking for a show stopping number for your next 1920s Art Deco event, then look no further! 

Fashioned in a soft fiery red velvet, this fun dress is ruched on the sides and around the drop waist to create a billowy bodice. (Remember: Out with the fitted dress and in with the formless sack dress!) It is a sleeveless pullover design with no additional openings or fasteners. 

The real beauty of this piece is in the intricately folded lame-tipped ombre ribbon work that accents the skirt of this dress. Each trim has been hand folded using a French technique and tacked. It is truly unique and gives the dress a wonderful 3-D element! 

Dress has an attached silk slip.

There are a few tiny wear spots in the velvet and a very faint dark spot that appeared in the back of the skirt after steaming. The lining is discolored and is starting to shred. Could easily be patched as no one will see it. The underarms and the ribbon work on this piece is spectacular. No major flaws to note. Priced accordingly. 

Look like you just stepped out of the pages of La Vie Parisienne in this spectacular 1920s metallic sheath dress! While there is no maker's label in this garment, its exquisite design, construction and use of lavish fabrics definitely show signs of a couture piece.

Constructed in a metallic silk lamé in a jaw-dropping shade of slate blue with gold swirls. The lamé is in excellent condition with no tears or holes. The straps are made of a nude illusion mesh and adorned with hundreds of set rhinestones. All rhinestones are original and present.

The side of the gown is fashioned with a sash of luxurious silk velvet and accented with a large black silk velvet and silver bullion wired flower. Black velvet leaves, bullion-wrapped berries and a long twisting wire-wrapped vine cascade down the side of the gown. The center of the flower is adorned with beautiful crystal rhinestones.

The gown is lined in a darling light pink silk and has a built in interior girdle belt to help keep the dress in place during wear. Over a dozen well-concealed hook-and-eye closures make the dress easy to put on and remove and help guarantee a perfect fit.

This gown is incredibly rare! It would be a wonderful piece for a collector or possibly a museum.

There is some underarm staining and discoloration as well as 2 very small stains on the bodice. The silk velvet sash has staining and a few holes - the largest being about 1/2 inch. The sash lining also is starting to come undone at hem. Sash damage is not noticeable given the drape of the piece.
