Rare Autumnal Silk Chiffon Dress From The Late 1920's / SM
A B O U T
An exquisite example of late 1920s fashion, this silk chiffon dress captures the era’s love of fluid movement and modernist prints. The airy chiffon is rendered in a striking autumnal palette of golden ochre, pumpkin orange, mossy green, and inky black, layered in an abstract leaf-like pattern that suggests both Art Deco geometry and the natural world.
The silhouette is quintessentially late-’20s, with fluttering short sleeves, a softly bloused bodice, and a tiered overskirt that drapes gracefully over the hips, creating a sense of lightness and motion. Small snaps up the side—an authentic detail of the period—while tiny belt loops accommodate the addition of a ribbon or sash, here shown with a simple black velvet tie that emphasizes the waistline.
Sheer and weightless, the chiffon layers create depth and dimension, while the autumnal hues make this piece perfect for fall. An elegant option for an evening soiree, garden party, or as a collector’s piece. In overall excellent condition, especially for age. Clean and ready to wear.
