#3350 - c. 1927 Made
In France Black Beaded
Flapper Dress! Always the best... the "Made in
France" or "Made in Belgium" beaded dresses. Why?
Well, they are - no question - beautiful designs... but they are
usually beaded onto stronger material than the usually silk..
often cotton or cotton blend. Anyway, they have held up extremely
well over the years... and this dress is no exception. Excellent
condition, though someone may have taken in at the sides a bit,
and the original chiffon lining is gone... but certainly not
missed! Great shape with the scalloped hemline and scarves
attached at each hip. Needs slip worn under... shown without and
you can see it's just a bit too sheer to go out in
public! :). Great low round neckline in front and low
"v" in back. Measures 34-36" bust, up to 36"
hips, 40" long from shoulder to hem. If you want a flapper
beaded dress that you can actually wear... and look smashing, not
costumy.... well, my dear...... By the way... sorry for the
not-so-great photos, especially of the back.. I think the
mannequin moved!!!! Freaky!!! Perhaps this dress has a ghost
attached! What fun!!
