Hand Beaded Flapper Black Silk Gauze Duster buying Jacket or Top Dress Coat with Carnival Blue to Black Czech Beads, c. 1920

Gossamer thin black silk gauze hand beaded with Czech bugle beads in carnival glass colors of blue, purple, green, copper, and gold shimmer and shake with every move of the silk. Short sleeves, split hem design with back split kick decorated with swirls of hand applied beads at hem. There are two small snags of less than 1/16" on the back of the dress, but no other issues and no missing beads. This piece is truly a gem. buying

Top coat measures 35" from shoulder to hem. My mannequin stands 5" 3" tall, has a 36 bust and a 24" waist. The diaphanous nature of this top coat allows it to be worn on a bust up to 38. 40" hip line would be the maximum.

Now, if you wore this with a string of black Tahitian pearls, maybe a pair of Giuseppe Zanotti heels, and a smile, I think you could write your ticket for just about anything with your mate.
