1920s Rare Handmade Assuit & Net Flapper Coat designer-chloe The silver colored metal thread

The silver colored metal thread used and woven through it really goes it a beautiful glinting sheen and depth to the design

This dress is from that same time period and shows many of the same elements

The seams inside are finished with ribbon edging

It is priced a bit lower to offset this but this is such a rare and early piece I feel that this is a more then fair price

You will often see shawls from this period and the occasional dress, but to find a coat, original from the period is almost unheard of! And it is not a coat assembled from a shawl many of the "original" assuit garments
