stunning and absolutely one-of-a-kind Art Deco gown in luxe cream silk satin with plunging V-neck and extensively beaded and rhinestone-studded bodice, dropped waist with sash and deco bow buckle. the skirt with two draped layers of clear glass beaded tassels. back of bodice is lined. pulls over head. 

label: none present

condition: good/very good. freshly hand-washed, sturdy and wearable with care. no signs of brittleness to silk. some overall variations to tone; darker areas at shoulders, mid-back, and around the area of the sash buckle are notable in bright daylight. these areas lightened but did not totally lift with short soaking, and in my opinion are not distracting enough to risk a longer soak or harsher stain treatments. dress presents beautifully and photographs great. modesty panel that had deteriorated was removed, buckle is an era-appropriate replacement. some small losses to beading and rhinestones, but overall these elements are well-intact and stable. hem was taken up about 3 1/2" by a previous owner ( I suspect it was actually taken up in the 20s!) all original hem fabric is present, could be let back down if desired.
