Beaded Black Cocktail Dress

Although I'm unable to accurately date this gorgeous dress, it has all the signs of being a late 1920s to 1930s finely hand-beaded flapper-style dress; it's a relic that captures the shimmer and movement of the Art Deco era.  It's designed to catch the light with every step; its fluid silhouette and intricate details speak to a time when dress was an occasion in itself.  Although we can't know its story, this dress still has a lot to say!
