I was looking for a Jenny Packham or Rue de Seine beaded dress when I came across this hand beaded gown in Haight Ashbury, San Francisco.

It is a replica of an original vintage 1923 dress. Hand beaded and it includes a crepe ivory slip with detailed floating hem. The dress is a soft ivory colour seen best in the indoor photos.

This 1920's, Gatsby-esque dress is romantic and effortlessly chic.

The dress has not been worn for more than a few minutes. Once for the initial try on and then to take these photos after I found a more perfect dress. It is in new condition.

I currently measure: bust 95cm (12B), waist 77cm, hips 104cm. The bust has lots of room, the waist has a little but I wouldn't recommend the hips to be any bigger. I have not had it altered.

I love this dress and would love to pass it on. It is luxuriously comfortable to wear and offers endless possibilities for styling.
