1920’s Sheer Silk Georgette – Bias-cut Gatsby Dress.
A Garden Party Delight…
This dress has layers of chiffon along the skirt in a soft tangerine color that softly floats in the air when worn..
The Epitome of the Gatsby Era, these garden party dresses were the pick of many during the 1920’S Era.
This is in EXCELLENT VINTAGE CONDITION…with only a couple tiny snags along the shoulder flowers.
The body of this sheer silk georgette is in awesome shape. The body & armpits are without stains of holes.. All of the vintage rhinestones are in place and sparkling like crazy.
It actually is in incredible condition for being over 100 years old..
With care this dress is totally wearable. Just keep in mind anything this old and especially silk, should be worn with care. They are fragile and should be treated as such.
There is no slip with this dress.
I used a fan in the room which really worked well showing the volume of the flowing tulip shaped skirt.
No label, or size in dress, which is typical of this period..
I would say that this dress is a WOMEN’S SIZE SMALL to MEDIUM
**Check Measurements below to be certain the size is what you need:
Bust taken under the arm pit to arm pit: 18 inches = 36 inches
Drop waist area: 34 inches .. (chiffon is somewhat forgiving, but is to be worn lose with a smaller waist size)
The mannequin form has a 27 inch waist. I think an couple inches or so larger would fit well. (these dresses should not fit tight)
Hip area: basically free as the fabric flairs out in that area
