1920s Black Velvet Evening Dress with Floral Embroidery

Designed in the late 1920s to early 1930s, this museum-worthy evening dress captures the elegance of the Jazz Age in soft black silk velvet. The silhouette features a classic dropped waist and flowing skirt, accented by hand-embroidered florals in jewel-tone threads at the hip and hemline. A sleeveless scoop neckline completes the timeless design, balancing simplicity with artistry.

A rare example of transitional fashion between the flapper era and the dawn of 1930s glamour, this piece is both collectible and wearable for special occasions, editorial styling, or display.
