1920s Black and Cream Silk Beaded Long Flapper Dress

About the Item

This incredible original 1920s black silk beaded flapper dress is in impeccable condition for piece of its era, with no damage to the intricate beadwork to note and a beautiful line. Sleeveless with a scoop neckline both front and reverse, the dress is arranged in 3 x tiers of fabric, an empire line beaded bodice, a plain black silk skirt and a wide beaded hemline with scalloped edging. The majority of the bead work consists of transparent rocaille beads which appear silver toned when they catch the light. The hem features a bold art deco pattern made up with an intricate arrangement of closely compact opalescent ivory and transparent bugle beads which again take on a metallic appearance in the light. At some point a modern zip fastening was added on the left side. There are no makers labels but the dress is of superb quality and exquisite workmanship. Extremely wearable, this beautiful piece is would best suit a US size 2-4, UK size 6-8.

  • 1980s Charles Jourdan Black Cold Shoulder Dress
    By Charles Jourdan
    Located in London, GB
    I love the simplicity of form of this early 1980s Charles Jourdan black cocktail dress. It has a wide boatneck and fantastic cold shoulder sleeve so that the top of the arm is exposed. The sleeve itself is batwing and very tapered, finishing in a neat, buttoned cuff. The pattern on the fabric reminds me of the lines created by waves hitting a sandy beach. Its such an interesting jacquard silk feel material with the way that the weft and warp has been woven creating both matte and satin finishes to bring out a two-dimensional look. The dress it has a thigh high split...

    Located in Bilbao, ES
    Absence of vulgarity was central to Chanel’s definition of luxury, a view formed during her impoverished early life. Born in 1883 in Saumur, France, as Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel, she was just 12 years old when her mother died and her itinerant father put her in a home for orphaned girls run by a local convent. She learned to sew and, upon moving to Moulins six years later, became a seamstress. She also sang in nightclubs, earning the sobriquet “Coco,” an allusion to a popular song of the time. Beautiful, one of a kind vintage silk dress and jacket for everyday ware as a coktail dress...
