Late 1920s / Early 1930s Black Silk Chiffon Art Deco Evening Gown | Paris Collection
π€ DESCRIPTION
One of the most extraordinary pieces from the Tea Time Vintage Paris Collection, this authentic late 1920s to early 1930s flapper era evening gown beautifully captures the transition from the geometric elegance of the Art Deco era to the softer, flowing silhouettes of the early 1930s.
Crafted from an airy, semi-sheer fabric with beautiful drape (fiber content unknown), the bodice, sleeves, and back are adorned with meticulously stitched pintucking that creates striking architectural lines throughout the garment. A deep neckline is finished with its original tie and softly pleated ivory ruffle trim, offering a subtle contrast that highlights the gownβs refined construction.
The sheer upper bodice flows into a graceful sweeping skirt with beautiful movement, while the absence of closures allows the gown to slip on easily over the headβa hallmark of many evening dresses from this transitional period.
An exceptional example of early twentieth-century craftsmanship, this gown is equally suited for the serious collector, special occasion wear, or archival fashion collection.

π€ CONDITION
Very good vintage condition.
There is minor wear consistent with age, including light fraying around portions of the neckline trim, small areas of stitching loss near one shoulder, and a few tiny separations along some pintucked seams. These are subtle and expected for a garment approaching a century old and do not detract from its remarkable overall presentation.
Priced accordingly.
