This extraordinarily beautiful, museum quality French metallic gold beaded and sequin cotton-net flapper dress dates back to the mid 1920's. It was the era of the flapper, who was known for her late nights on the town filled with dancing. To accommodate this new lifestyle hemlines rose and waistlines dropped. This piece is an highly coveted example of the style that defined the 'Roaring Twenties'—luxurious, relaxed, and ready for anything. The dress is fashioned in sheer cotton-net with exceptional beadwork in metallic gold and silver sequins that create a spectacular floral deco pattern. I love how the flowers are highlighted by deep gold metallic ball centers, making them pop with a three dimensional texture that elevates the overall design. The intricate beading must have taken weeks to complete, with every detail carefully hand-applied to create this showstopper. The sleeveless bodice features a delicate, low plunge V-neckline, which adds a touch of seduction that was very modern for the time. The complex back panels overlay skirting really sets this dress apart from others during this time period. We added many pictures because words can not fully describe all the details of this masterpiece. Flapper dresses in this condition are becoming incredibly rare to find that it’s impossible to not be captivated by it from every angle.  Whether worn as a unique bridal look or a dramatic red carpet moment, this dress is a piece of history, and a work of art that you’ll treasure for years to come.
