Exceptional Original 1920s Art Deco Pongee Silk Dress With Hand Painted Flowers Dress Shields:Without Dress Shields allowing it to be easilyThis incredible dress was made from beautifully lightweight natural pongee silk in the 1920s. It was cut in a classic loose fitting flapper dress silhouette with a finely gathered waist seam and an attached fabric tie at the back.
