1920s Flapper Dress ~ the quintessential style

With 1920s fashion one immediately thinks of the Flapper, The Great Gatsby, Louise Brooks, Zelda Fitzgerald and the Bright Young Things. They defined an era. It was an era of youth and opulence. Wild parties, short skirts, bobbed hair, and dancing. Lots of dancing.

One of our luxurious flapper dresses particularly sums up the era. Sparkling sequins, the finest workmanship, and swirling movement in the patterns and design of the dress. Beautiful bias cut, arched panels provide full swish and flow in the skirt, for dancing away the night.

1920s Beaded Evening Dress with Trompe L'oeil floral beadwork.

A collectors dream

The exquisite trompe l'oeil beadwork of flowers, leaves and vines, is truly breathtaking, with the flowers highlighted in beads and pearls. Quite an oriental look to the floral patterns. The body of the dress is decorated in alternating, tight rows of sequins and beads to add subtle sparkle with every movement. The plunging, illusion neckline bordered in multi coloured beaded bands, creates dramatic focus. This is wearable art at its finest.
