Stunning Antique 1920 Ribbonwork Flapper Dress Yellow Silk Lace Silver Metallic Lame Ribbon Trim
I was so lucky to find this dress, in the dark, at 6:15am, at a local market as the dealer was unpacking a small chest of antique clothing that had been stored away for decades.
As a dealer AND collector, I want to keep everything, but I have narrowed myself down to certain colors, and yellow is not in my palette, or else this would have been a keeper, no question
The condition is amazing for the age, some scattered storage stains, and underarm discoloration, and some very small rips to the inner lining of the bodice. The dress is wearable
I do not see any damage to the lace, but with lace this detailed, its easy to miss a small flaw
8 Snap closure, all intact (photo shows one open as it was tight on my mannequin and I didn't want to force it)
17" across bust
15.5" across waist
43" length
