Featherlight Original 1920s Floral Print Flapper Dress

Late 1920s to Early 1930s Sheer Cotton Voile Day Dress | Floral Print Vintage Dress

An exquisite example of transitional fashion between the Roaring Twenties and the streamlined elegance of the 1930s, this original late 1920s to early 1930s cotton voile dress captures the ethereal charm of the era. Crafted from whisper-thin black chiffon with a bold painterly floral print in red, rust, and golden ochre, the dress floats effortlessly with every movement. Its deep V neckline, flutter sleeves, and softly dropped waist create a silhouette that nods to the carefree spirit of the ’20s while anticipating the more elongated lines of the ’30s.
