This is an absolutely stunning silk chiffon gown fro the late twenties that is just beautiful. It is getting so rare and hard to find these anymore and this one is just perfect! The silk is practically weightless - it is almost chocking to pick it up and it be so light. It is screened with a soft palette of blossoms that are set on a soft back backdrop. The effect is romantic and fresh. The bodice is simply cut with a hand rolled and piped neckline and arms. The skirt literally has yards and yards of bias cut silk - the photos do not come close to showing you just how much fabric there is! It really is very beautiful and a real treasure. Excellent condition

Note that antique and twenties pieces are final sale. They will be packed exceedingly well and we only sell pieces that will stand up to the stress of shipping, however, having pieces potentially shipped multiple times through multiple customs and countries is too hard on garments that are historically important and deserve to be treated with love and care. Please purchase accordingly.
