Exquisite and elaborate beadwork combined with a gorgeous colorful satin make this dress a standout in any crowd.   It is a mirror into the elegance and affluence of 1920's high society.

A wide border of beadwork encircles the neckline, cascades down the front of the dress and around the entire hemline.  Large and exquisite beaded motifs cover the front   and back of the dress.  Bugle beads, caviar beads, pearls, "emeralds" and "diamonds" are used in the striking beadwork patterns.  The pale aqua green satin is the perfect backdrop for the glittering ornamentation.

Sadly the slip is no longer with the dress, surely it would have told us that this gorgeous dress was made in France.

The condition of the dress is near mint. The beadwork appears to be intact, however while in storage at an apartment building on the Upper East Side of Manhattan the dress was folded incorrectly. The right sides of the fabric were folded together. allowing some of the beads to make faint marks on the satin.  These marks are very light, almost unnoticeable, but I have included a photo to show an area near the left shoulder.  This in no way detracts from the beauty of the dress or the ability to wear the garment.
