About MePeach chiffon sleeveless evening dress heavily decorated with beads and sequins, displayed with a brown and white ostrich feather boa with silk tassels.

The dress bought from a boutique in Paris around 1922 and is typically heavily decorated with beads and sequins. For evening dresses the minimal cut and shape of the dress meant that designers relied on elaborate fabrics and surface decoration to give the impact that was required.
