Beaded cotton flapper dress, c.1925
Dresses from the 1920s that were beaded on cotton, more durable and wearable than silk, are difficult to find. They are ideal for the collector who wants to wear her treasures.
I love the pristine simplicity of the monotone design. The dress is fashioned from white cotton voile that is totally covered with glass beads. It slips over the head in an easy-to-wear style.
Overlaid with silver-lined crystal beads and clear crystal beads, the body of the dress is accented with wide decorative bands of white glass beads. The pointed skirt hem echoes the decorative shapes in the beading pattern. This is the subtle artistry of the best Deco design.
The condition is excellent and wearable. This is as close to mint as you you will find in a vintage dress.
It measures: 38" bust, 37" drop waist, 48" hip, 21" from the shoulder to the drop waist, and 39" from the shoulder to the hem.
