A B O U T

Rare and extraordinary 1920's couture evening dress in shimmering cobalt blue & silver wave pattern silk lame' decorated with pearl straps and festoons supporting massive pearl tassels! Does it get any more glamorous? The dress is held on the body by an interior silk corset that supports the body and defines the waist. A series of hidden hook and eyes at the side close the dress. The long strands of pearls act as straps. The skirt wraps and hangs asymmetrically and has metal weights sewn into the hem to hold it in place. From the same estate as our other rare 1920's pieces by Sadie Nemser and Sally Milgrim. 

 In remarkably good condition, especially for age. Only signs of wear are a few missing pearls in the straps and some very mild discoloration here and there in the skirt. No rips, tears or holes. Clean and ready to wear or display. Truly a rare and museum worthy dress.
