Full of opulent original details, rendered in the most luxurious fashion, this rare 1920's piece is a beauty to behold.
The rounded neckline of the dress, is framed by a simple shoulder line which sets off the short length sleeves, edges with scalloped floral lace details. The elegant straight line of then bodice is accented by a striped pattern of two difference laces, alternating between a Nottingham leaver lace and a floral embroidered lace, creating a textural and eye-catching design. The dropped waistline, is accented by a horizontal panel of Nottingham leaver lace, which sets off the lightly flare skirt-line, comprised of a striped pattern of lace trim and cream cotton tulle, completing this dress in a timeless and mesmerising silhouette. This dress is sheer, and may need to be worn with a dress slip to conceal ones modesty.
