(damage listed below).It is a dark navy blue with blue and gold beaded detail and fastens with three small poppers on the right shoulder.The dress is approx. a size 10, but could fit up to a 14. Modelled by a size 6 in the photos, so although it's loose, it could fit a small size too.It has a really good weight to it so drapes beautifully on the body.After a lot of research and some advice from experienced dealers in antiques clothing, I have found that for a 1920s dress in perfect condition you can expect to pay above £1000 and for a dress in poor condition, around £300-400. This dress is in great, although not perfect, condition so I have set a price at £260 or Best Offer. Please do feel free to contact me to discuss offers, or to ask any other questions.Damage/repairs:- Left shoulder: some tearing of the thin chiffon fabric- Left breast: a V shaped tear of the outer chiffon (inner layer still intact)- Each side: lack of beading, probably due to the arms rubbing against the sides- Left thigh area: hole in the chiffon, and read more
