*Romantic Details* 🌹💐🥀 So many gorgeous little details!
This lovely 1920’s dress is made of a lightweight, plain weave silk fabric, featuring a stylistic 20’s pink rose print, on a green leaf and cream ground. A very dainty example, this piece has a drop waist silhouette with puff sleeves and rounded neckline. The gathers at neckline, cuffs, and waist are all hand-sewn smocking, in silk threads of pink, blue, and green, creating sumptuous gathers. The neckline and cuffs also feature self-fabric piping finish, as well as ecru-colored netting ruffles...AND, the most glorious little lightweight ball-tassels made from (wooden?) balls enshrouded in the silk threads. This is masterful detailing via smocking and sewing (plus, I found a lot of hand-sewn seams inside the dress, as well). Originally I thought that this dress per chance might have a connection to Wiener Werkstatte, but as of yet I have not found any evidence to indicate so. I am presuming it may be of Austrian origin because of the traditional smocking. No labels or maker’s marks present. Overall condition is very good, with mild to moderate underarm staining (pics show front, back, and under angles), plus one tiny repair at right underarm -please review photographs for full details. $295 in my eBay shop 🛍️
