Evening
dress, 1920s
Georgette dress decorated with silver sequins and
clear glass beads. The style of the decoration suggests
links with both the popular Art Nouveau movement
and the new Art Deco movement, which was growing
in popularity during the 1920s. The mid-1920s saw
the emergence of 'scandalously' short, knee length
skirts.
This dress was purchased in Paris and sent to
the donor who lived in Eccleshall
| Beaded handbag.
This sytle of bag was popular during the 1920s. |
