Black Egyptian Revival Deco Blouson Dress with Punched Brass Eyelets - S, 1924
About the Item
A dress that went around the world in 1924, this unusual frock features metal eyelets that gently chime when the wearer moves. An exotic masterpiece worthy of Callot Soeurs or Paquin.

Bodice front features a two-layer drop blouson waistline with decorative flat bow fixed at right shoulder; top layer lays flat in front but forms sashes at each shoulder in rear. Skirt features double layer construction with decorative bow and waterfall tails fixed at left hip. Entire circumference of front and rear midsection decorated with stamped metal eyelets that pierce the top layer of chiffon and leave a hole to reveal the layer beneath. Attached black silk chemise underslip with nude chiffon straps. Pullover construction with no closures of any kind except wrist snaps.
