Absolutely stunning 1970's does 1920's art deco heavily beaded and seqined flapper style party dress. Dress is made from a mocha brown silk chiffon with machine attached copper colored matte sequins and hand beaded gold glass seed beads! Dress is straight in silhouette with long sleeves. There's a feather shape of seed beads on the front bodice and deco jagged edge in beads on the sleeve openings and bottom hem of skirt and front bodice. I've never seen anything quite like this piece!
Excellent condition- there's 2 areas on the lower front bodice of missing sequins (about 2" long each), however these areas do not appear to be loose creating more sequin loss.
There's one tiny pull in the seed bead area on the front bodice (see last photo). Does not appear to have any loose beads or sequins!
Please note: This dress has to pull on over the head as it has no side or back openings...
Dress does weigh quite a bit due to all the decoration.
