Vintage 1920s Floral Beaded Black Silk Flapper Dress

Raleigh Vintage

One of the sweetest 20s dresses we've ever had.  Medium-weight black silk crepe with silk chiffon mesh.  Iconic tunic silhouette with a drop waist.  There is an attached gathered mesh sash at the drop waist and two layers of handkerchief hem skirting.  Delicate pink floral beading at the neck.  There is gorgeous, intricate floral beading at the bottom of the dress, below the mesh skirting.  This lovely dress slips on over the head with no additional openings, so your measurements must be slightly smaller than those of the dress.


  • DETAILS:
    Label:  none
    Fabric:  Silk; glass beading  
    Circa:  1920s

    BEST FITS:  XS/S (see measurements)

    CONDITION:  Overall excellent.  The dress shows extremely light, normal wear, with just a couple of very minor issues to note.  There are just a small handful of missing beads (see photos) and a very small repaired hole in the front of the skirt (it gets lost in the draping of the skirt).  The fabric is clean and strong and the dress is very wearable.
