ERA: True vintage item from the 1920s
MEASUREMENTS: The dress is 43 inches long, fits 38 inch bust, 37 inch waist, 45 inches around hips. Shoulders are 14 inches across, sleeves are 22 inches long

LABEL: none
Black silk crepe dress with print silk inset on the side of the bodice and under the front of the skirt. The dress is pullover with snap openings on the shoulders. Full length cuffed sleeves, band around the waist with decorative white mother or pearl buckle. The floral silk insert is black with pink and lavender flowers. Silk lining in the bodice.
CONDITION: The black part of the dress is in very good condition, no issues to note other than some wear around the neck. But the silk floral print has a tear in the insert on the bodice and it has large tears and shattering in the piece under the black skirt. The print fabric will have to be replaced in the insert and the whole piece under the skirt as well
Again, the print is damaged, the black is very good.
