1920s French Beaded Citrine Silk Velvet Gown | M/L

antique 1920s

vibrant citrine yellow silk velvet with all-over silver beaded "bubble" motif. tabard-style deep armholes, piped and gathered accents at the dropped waist. hooks-and-eyes close the top of the left shoulder. a rare and special example of 1920s finery.

label: M-------'s Gowns, Paris France. sadly the label has deteriorated and made the maker's name difficult to read. someone may yet be able to solve it though!

approx size: medium/large (should have a loose/draped fit) model wears an xsmall, and gown is unpinned on her.

bust: 44"
waist/high hips (at seam details): 40"
hips: 52"
total length: 48"

good condition. sturdy and wearable. presents beautifully. I have not cleaned, only some gentle spot treating. some scattered bead losses but none that are distracting and the beading seems generally stable to me (they aren't actively falling off when dress is handled/worn). faint musty scent, not overwhelming and may fade with time out of storage/sunbath etc. some scattered spots/marks that didn't lift or that I did not attempt to lift. see detail images for examples. faint soiled line where someone took the hem up at some point. please message me with any questions before purchase. sold as is, final sale.
