c. 1920's Black Deco Beaded Flapper Dress with Chiffon Scarves



Black silk crepe chiffon with clear beading in fabulously dense deco pattern in front, back and sides. The back of the dress is slightly longer than the front with a gentle dip. Excellent, Near Mint condition with the most minor issues. There are just a tiny few beads missing, about 6 beads that have darkened, and one very minor pull on the underslip at the upper back. Goes on over the head and has the original black slip is attached under. Measures: 35/36" bust, up to 37" waist, up to 43" hips, 44-49" long from shoulder to hem.
