flapper dress


...

I thrifted this flapper dress from the 20ies on the fleamarket. Very delicate piece and it's a wonder, that it survived all these years. Finest silk net, embroidered with blackmetal and mosterd thread, glass beads and matt sequins. It's a small size-perfect for me. And the details-gorgeous! The cut is very simple, straight rectangular, small gussets in the the armpit and drappery on the sides to give it some shape.
