Summary
A woman's wedding dress made from cream silk georgette in the "flapper" style. The sleeveless dress has a V-shaped neckline and is extensively decorated with silver bugle beads and silver and iridescent sequins in a stylised floral motif from the shoulder to the dropped waistline. The skirt is in two layers, with the bottom layer beaded around the hemline and an overskirt made from separate slim panels of beaded silk georgette, creating the movement that is typical of this style of dress.
