Absolutely gorgeous and extremely rare hand beaded Jean Patou haute couture attributed dress dating back to the mid-1920's. As shown, in my research I found an almost identical dress with the same novelty beaded Asian themed motif. From the start of his career, Patou’s designs exhibited a simple elegance that looked like they should be worn by real women, not just mannequins. This was rare at the time. His aesthetic was a success with private clients and Patou began dressing the chicest ladies in Paris. As fashion lovers, we never tire from antique fabrics; they will always be fresh to modern eyes. I just adore this ethereal seafoam blue-green color silk chiffon. It is then lavishly embellished with rhinestones and sparkling glass-beads in a gorgeous motif. This must have taken weeks to complete by hand. The sleeveless low-cut bodice works so well with the complex tiered skirting. We needed to add many detail pictures so one can appreciate the masterful achievement. The mark of a truly fashionable garment is that it remains stylish and timeless 100 years later, as does this magical dress. The pictures say it all.
