This 1920s dress is a wonderful synthesis of ethereal innocence and seduction. At its most basic, the dress is sort-of princess seamed in 8 panels, 4 in front and 4 in back. There is a drop waist with three rows of shirring below to add some fullness to the skirt. But the seaming between panels opens up with triangular lace insets top and bottom - at the neckline, the triangles are fairly small. The skirt insets begin at the level of the natural waist, so they are quite long, and become the whole skirt a few inches above the knees. 
It would have originally been worn with a simple slip - probably white - underneath. It did not come to me with a slip - I have shown it in one photo with a white slip from  my closet. The slip is not included with purchase.

SIZE: No size label. When considering the measurements, keep in mind that you have to slip this on over your head - there are no openings.

FABRIC/COLORS: The color is cream, done in lace and a light weight crepe - I believe it is silk, but there is nowhere safe to snip fabric for a fiber burn test.

TAGS: No tags.

CLOSURES: N/A, this slips on without any fasteners.

CONDITION: A few small flaws to report - there are small water rings under the arms - see closeup. No odor, and the fabric does not feel compromised. I found a smallish subtle greenish area on the upper back - see other closeup. No other issues noted, remarkably. Lace and fabric seem strong and intact.
