Beaded evening dress c. 1925

This beautiful mid-1920s evening dress has some of the most gorgeous floral embroidery I've ever seen, all done by hand. This dress is actually a perfect example of the famous one hour dress pattern from 1924. It was cut in 2 simple pieces, front and back. However, nobody really makes the 1 hour dress in just one hour, and the beading here probably added an extra 20 hours
