Vintage 1920's Magenta Pink Beaded & Rhinestone Silk-Velvet Flapper Deco Dress

About the Item

A simply stunning and seldom found magenta pink heavily beaded silk-velvet dance dress dating back to the mid-1920's. Vibrant colored flapper dresses from this decade are perennial favorites and this one is a show-stopper. The garment's simple unstructured style is so modern while the fine couture work is a treasure trove of needle art. The dress is fashioned from luxurious mid-weight magenta silk-velvet and there are sparkling glass beads and prong-set rhinestones placed in a gorgeous art-deco motif through the entire skirt. This is all done by hand and must have taken weeks to complete. The 'robe de style' full skirting has such lovely movement. I love the additional rhinestone bodice trimming and of course that amazing backside birdcage cut-out. What a magnificent dress for a stylish woman who uses her clothing as the material from which to create a work of art. Measurements Bust: 34 inches Hips: up to 50 inches Total Length: 40 inches This 1920's magenta pink silk-velvet dress is in wonderful wearable condition with no stains or discoloration. The garment slips over the head with hidden back center metal-hook closures. There are some loose seams around the upper bodice due to weight. There is some missing beadwork which is not noticeable when worn. Please message for detailed pictures. A rare museum worthy wearable art-deco dress that will only increase in value.

  • Vintage 1970 Mainbocher Couture Vogue Documented Hot Pink Flocked Silk Dress
    By Mainbocher
    Located in Beverly Hills, CA
    Gorgeous Mainbocher couture shocking pink abstract floral dress dating back to his 1970 collection. As shown, this design was modeled by Loulou de la Falaise for Vogue magazine. Mainbocher was a well-respected couturier who operated fashion houses in Paris and later New York from the 1930's through the 1970's. Mainbocher's arrival in New York coincided perfectly with the city élite's love for French couture, for though he epitomized it, he satisfied their patriotism because he was actually an American. The integrity of luxurious fabrics, intricate cut, quality workmanship were cherished by Mainbocher's upper crust customers. This mid 1960's dress is a perfect example of his genius. The fabric is a lush mid-weight velvet flocked silk satin. The 3/4-length sleeve buttons down bodice really compliments the classic nipped-waist silhouette. The dress can even be worn as a dramatic jacket if you choose to leave it unbuttoned. You get the effect of elegance and edgy at the same time. I love the sculpted mermaid skirting which really moves beautifully when worn. As Mainbocher once said "I have never known a really chic...
