A lovely floaty and feminine dress, perfect for a garden party or other special occasion! This 1920s vintage dress has the classic 20s look - lightly fitted body with dropped waist. The bodice features a sheer floral capelet collar, also known as a bertha collar, longer in back and slit open there. The sheer floral chiffon is also used for the skirt, with six rounded-top godets. The dress lining is finished at the hem with a 4" border of the floral chiffon

SIZE: No size label. As you consider the measurements, keep in mind that you have to be able to get this on over your head - that makes it an extra small primarily to me, since there is no stretch and this is chiffon.

FABRIC/COLORS: The outer dress is chiffon, black and floral crepe weave. The lining is all black except for the beige net under the capelet collar. The lining is a crisper plain-weave fabric with a bit of gloss. Fiber burn test on all fabrics are consistent with silk.

CLOSURES: N/A, this dress slips on over the head

CONDITION: A few very tiny flaws. The six rounded top godets each have 2 sort-of corners at the top - three of the 12 show tiny areas of fray - see closeup of largest one. I also found three tiny area on the hem where the picot stitching has frayed - see closeup. A former owner made alterations, taking the side seams in a bit. No other issues noted.
