Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:547058 | Decade: 1920s |
| Color: Black | Original/Reproduction: Original |
Rather exceptional and unique 1920s dress in sheer black silk with wide, looped, fringe composing most of the skirt and trimming the bodice bib and the sleeves. The dress has a smaller, contrasting white, silk bib with horizontal tucks and a slender row of lace trim. The short sleeves have a fairly straight cut and they have a self-fabric lining. The dress has no closures.
Condition: This dress is in good shape but most like pieces from this era it has some flaws. It has red/b...rown discoloration under the arms and some similar, brown, toning along the top of the right sleeve, and a less visible line along the right side seam, in addition to a small area above the fringe of the left sleeve. It has some generalized fade allover so the color isn't perfectly uniform but this is a subtle color variation, it's not conspicuous, you have to look for it. There's a more visible red/brown area on one of the pieces of skirt fringe, a small, lightened surface spot on the back of the dress and a water spot type line along the back right side. Altogether it sounds terrible but the flaws are subtle and the dress is structurally in really nice condition. The shoulders and underarms are in good shape, there's a less than 2/8" long, and very narrow, break in the fabric a couple of inches above the fringe on the front of the dress, and two smaller ones that are about 1/8" near the larger one, but otherwise there are no tears or holes and certainly no shredding or other big structural issues. The dress is offered as-is and as-found. It has not been cleaned or mended.
