1914 silk chiffon dress heavily embroidered with soutache braid. This is a transition dress between the dresses of the early 1900's and flappers. While it looks like a flapper the lining is constructed like an earlier time period. The lining includes a constructed cotton belt that fits at the natural waist. The yoke features rows of pin tucks over an emerald green lining. From the bust down to the dropped waist and the bottom foot of the skirt are heavily embroidered with the soutache braid over a navy lining. The dress features long sleeves that are gathered by a strap also decorated with braid. The dropped waist has two bands of braid and a tied sash ending in tassels. The neck line features a lovely piece of braid, the braid has been replaced with a piece of vintage braid. The lining has been replaced.
The dress was photographed on a dress form that measured 35 inches at the bust. The dress was too large for the dress form.
The dress measures 41 inches at the bust, it is 29 inches around the constructed waist, Shoulders are 15 inches. The sleeves measure 24 inches from sleeve cap to cuff. The overall dress length is 47 inches long and 21 inches to the top of outlets the dropped waist from the neck line.
This dress is in very good condition.
The only flaws I have found are a four small of holes in the skirt which have been repaired. Also a small red stain on the skirt. See picture of the largest hole and stain. No Refunds or exchanges. Please contact me if you have questions. braid
