Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:1185095 |
Original Vintage 1920-30s ART DECO Navy Blue Dress w/ Red Beads and Matching “Jacket”. Completely hand sewn. Please note: the original period glass beads make the dress pretty heavy, 2.25 lbs. Fabric, rayon gaberdine? MOST BEADS ARE INTACT! Those missing are not obvious except upon extremely close inspection.
Honest, thorough description of the only possible flaws I may find: DRESS—front neckline is beautiful with just a few missing round beads on left side—approx 7 beads-2�...�� area; right back shoulder approx 4 beads-1” area; beneath front neckline—beads missing down left side approx 1.5” area; beneath front right armhole–approx 1.25” area beads missing; beneath front left armhole—approx 2.5” area; hemline 2" area; FRONT CENTER design mostly intact!; hooks on shoulder—all are intact but need gentle mending; armholes—right side all beads intact, left side back beads missing approx 5” area; snaps closure left side—all six snaps secure but last snap looks newer, this one needs the other half; inner seam lining behind topmost snap shows gentle wear; beads down BACK LEFT side—round beads nearest snaps, approx 2” area missing and a couple beads missing nearest hemline; beads down BACK RIGHT side all intact!; BACK CENTER design mostly intact with some beads missing; back darts left side needs stitches; I am able to only find a few teeny pinholes and two .125" moth holes, mainly back neck area—only visible whilst held up to bright light. Please see photos. Otherwise, overall condition very good to excellent, age considered. No snags, no discoloration, no stains, no bad odor. This garment has not been professionally dry cleaned and I have done my honest best to accurately show and describe any faults.

Cropped ‘Jacket’—please see photos. Shall let winning bidder decide what this garment is called and how it’s meant to be worn Some beads missing on sleeves, as shown by loose threads; please see photos. Moth hole .25” at bottom of one sleeve, as shown. Otherwise, overall condition is very good to excellent. No rips, no significant stains.
