1920's Anthemion Motif Silk Vintage Wedding Dress

This unbelievable vintage wedding dress is a real vintage treasure. Hand crafted from a fine champagne colored silk, which features a steel bead, rhinestone and pearl encrusted embroidered anthemion motif, this 1920's dress is as unique in it's look as it is magnificent in it's designed. The sleeveless bodice features a deep scooped neckline and keyhole cut back. The entire bodice is embroidered with a Greek inspired motif called anthemion. The skirt falls from the natural lose waist and is done in a very early peplum style with two side panels, of the same embroidered silk detail found in the bodice, flanking a layer of silk that has a tiered ruffled lace detail. Attached to the waist and also to the silk ruffled lace under layer, there are built in hoops, which allow for exaggeration of the shape of the hip. The dress fastens with snaps on the left side, which need to be replaced. There are also a few snags in the silk panels of the skirt. There is a bit of staining on the bottom portion of the armholes, which can be easily remedied by a professional dry cleaner.
