1920s
Red Velvet & Embroidery
This is one of those rare pieces
that survives thru time in excellent condtion. It was obviously
treasured by those who have owned it. It dates to the 1920's
and is all silk panne velvet (deep scarlet red). It is a simple
straight cut style except it has a sash piece at the dropped
waist that wraps around the body and over the shoulder and ends
in beaded fringe (a strand or two missing). The dress front bodice
and all around armhones and hem is embroidered, sequined and
beaded in the most DECO flowers. The colors are very striking
including and "old gold" and a silvery blue/grey. This
gown is nearly ankle length and measures approx 40" straight.
I would suggest this for a modern size 8 or under as there should
be room to move. Additional Photos: Photo1 Photo2
