Pink silk chiffon, lace ruffles and satin florets give this 1920s dress its delicate,
layered character. The dropped waist lets the bodice fall into a ruffled skirt rather
than a sharply fitted waistline, while floral trim brings texture around the upper
body. The lightness of the chiffon and the movement of the lace make the details
as important in motion as they are in the photographs.

## Size & fit

in tops and US 2/4 in bottoms, or XS/S. Her waist measures 25” and high hips 37”.
Use the model information alongside the silhouette and photographs when considering
the fit.

## Condition

Very good vintage condition and wearable for its 100+ years. There is minor tearing
to the lace ruffles, while the fabric remains intact and is not brittle or deteriorated.
The detail photographs also show wear around the shoulder floral trim. Examine the
detail photographs for a closer look at the lace and floral trim.

## Styling

Pearl accessories and vintage-inspired heels pick up the dress’s period character
without competing with the ruffles. For a less delicate contrast, take a cue from
the photographs and pair it with tall patterned boots. Keep a bag small and jewellery
considered so the satin florets and lace remain the focus. Jewellery and boots shown
are separate styling pieces.
