Dress #120. 1920s dinner dress in dark blue

This hand-stitched paper dinner dress is based on a ‘Robe de dîner en velours vieux bleu’ by Paris designer Jean Magnin; the dress was featured in the February 1929 issue of ‘Les Modes : revue mensuelle illustrée des Arts décoratifs appliqués à la femme’.

The dress is six inches tall, stitched by hand on 8x10 inch 100% cotton watercolour paper, which means that it will pop right into any commercial frame in that size, and be ready to hang on your wall.

Materials: Japanese papers, glass beads, and cotton floss on cotton paper; 24.5 x 20.3 cm (10 x 8")
