This vintage 1920s dress was made from a sheer black silk crepe material with elaborate heat treated metallic and cobalt blue glass seed beadwork that adorns its entirety. Short sleeves split at the tops of the shoulders to add a subtle yet very sexy glimpse of skin. This dress falls well below the knee to about mid-shin, with the classic sleek and slim loose fit of the era. Slips on overhead or can be stepped into as it closes with button snaps at the top of the shoulders. A dramatically elegant piece.
