1920s chemise dress · Arts and Crafts floral patterns
A sleeveless cotton net dress displaying the characteristic 1920s drop-waist silhouette. The garment features vertical bands of floral motifs in coral pink and sage green against a cream ground, separated by narrow brown geometric borders. The construction shows machine-made net with printed or applied decoration arranged in repeating vertical stripes. The dress falls straight from shoulder to hip with no waist definition, then continues to what appears to be knee length. A matching belt with similar floral patterning accompanies the dress. The net fabric creates a semi-transparent effect while the bold floral pattern reflects the era's embrace of decorative surface design and simplified construction techniques.
