1910s Floral Beaded Mesh Tunic [xs/sm]
$1,263.00
Unbelievable rare and special Titanic era mesh tunic entirely beaded by hand with antique glass beads over a cotton mesh. This stunning piece from the early 1910s would have originally been worn over a matching evening gown, and although the original match has been lost to time, it pairs incredibly well with slips and bias cut gowns, or even over a pair of high waisted trousers. Beautifully styled with a swirling high low hem, a plunging back and of course the incredible beadwork with both floral and flame-like motifs around the hem. An absolute exquisite and supremely rare survivor.
Excellent condition. A few invisible repairs to the mesh and beading, one or two pinholes to the mesh. Presents as mint when worn.
