- Fun fringe trims the skirt from the drop waist to the knee.
- Fabric is substantial enough to be opaque without a slip
- Closesalong the top of the shoulderswith snaps
- Headpiece consists of modern beaded headband with feather sparkly faux gem embellishment to clip wherever you please
Labels: none
Fiber/Care: crepe is probably rayon, as it's in strong, wearable condition with tell-tale "rayon" fading, but feels like silk/ dry-clean
Condition: presents beautifully, strong and wearable (of course you'll want to be careful). few if any missing beads. some gentle fading to a very deep brown, but overall still jet black. the fringe may be a later addition, and the dress may have been taken up. strangely, there is some underarm fading under the right arm, but not the left. perhaps she held her drink in her left hand and kept her right arm at her side?
*This 20s flapper dress is clean and ready to wear.*
