Description: 1920s Art Deco dress is an authentic day frock from the flapper era, in black silk crepe with a drop waist panel and satin appliques. The satin detail is asymmetric curved sabre-shaped designs, with a sash-like series of bands to the drop waist, and matching details to the forearms. This 20s dress has a scoop neckline, long sleeves, and a beautiful Art Deco button accent to the satin hip. Skirt flares gently with a curved fuller panel at center. Note that this dress is difficult to judge front versus back - the front is likely the detailed side, with the satin appliques and button accent. The sleeve design also suggests the detailed side is the front. However, this side is also where the fuller curved skirt panel is located, which seems like a back train-like design rather than one you'd see in the front.
