Ethereal 1920s black silk gown made from delicate tiers of chantilly lace beautifully articulated with florals throughout. This gown is exquisite in its choice of material, and incredibly unusual. It appears to have been made from miles of wide yardage of French silk lace draped, gathered and stitched to create a unique silhouette. The result is spectacular with beautifully finished scalloped edges of the lace throughout the garment and interesting lines created by the method of piecing the fabric together. Can be worn either way, with the shoulder to bodice drape in the front or the back. This piece has endless styling possibilities due to its sheerness, and wears wonderfully as a layering piece. Truly one of a kind, and likely a handmade or custom garment as it appears to be stitched entirely by hand. 

Incredible pristine condition, essentially unheard of for garment of this nature. No flaws to note whatsoever; the fabric is as supple and strong as the day it was made, and even has some light stretch. Likely unworn.
