Beaded cotton voile dress, c.1924
I love the cheerful combination of gaily colored beads and crisp white cotton. The youthful, fresh design exudes the insouciant optimism of the Roaring Twenties. Here too is an irresistible combination of sweet simplicity and subtle sensuality.
Fashioned from white cotton voile, the dress slips over the head in an easy-to-wear style. The only closures are snaps at the shoulders. The dress is gently shaped with pin tucks at the shoulders and gathered fullness at the side hips.
The dress is decorated with pink, melon, lilac, and blue glass bead flowers set in branches of green glass beads. The white slip is a later style and not original to the dress but will be included because it works so well with this lovely dress.
The condition is excellent. It is clean and ready to wear.
It measures: 40" bust, 36" drop waist, 52" hip, and 49 1/2" from the shoulder to the hem.
