1920s Evening Wear Dress

This 1920s evening wear dress brings sequins, beading and a tasseled hem together in one sleeveless design, made for banquets, anniversary dinners and Gatsby parties where everyone dresses up. It is offered in black gold, black red, apricot and green. The supplier describes the fabric as polyester with a silk-like lining, and notes that the dress is light and resists showing creases.

Inside the Sequin and Bead Work of This Evening Wear Dress

The sequins and beads are set across the body of the dress, and the hem breaks into tassels so the lower half has movement while the bodice stays structured. Black gold gives the most classic Art Deco contrast; black red looks dramatic under candlelight; apricot is the softest option; green feels the most unexpected.

Checking Length Before You Choose Your Evening Wear

The supplier calls this an evening gown in one place and a mini dress in another, so read the length in the size chart rather than assuming. The size labels also need to be compared with the chart, not with your usual size. Taking two minutes to measure avoids a disappointing fit. Longer styles are gathered in our 1920s evening gowns.
