Decadent 1920s Unlabeled Real Metal Thread Metallic Lame & Black Pattern Easy Fit Top
- This is an exquisite little top from the 1920s, maybe into the early 1930s
- It is unlabelled as most pieces are from this time period.
- These early pieces are exceedingly hard to find and this one is exceptional.
- It is a remarkable example of the decadence and high end textiles being produced in this time period.
- The fabric is a real metal thread metallic silver/gold lame that is done in a deep metallic that has a touch of a deep gold feel to it. Mixed with that are black embroidered patterns that run over the fabric. The colour in person. is better than how it photoed and has that true metallic feel that textiles from this era have.
- The collar is high and buttons with buttons that are covered in the same fabric. The shoulders are soft and extend into wide cut short sleeves.
- The body of the top is loose and easy and meant to just fit full over the body so is easy to fit on a variety of sizes. On a smaller frame, it will just drape more.
- The lame seems strong and wearable with the care and love it deserves to be shown. The fabric would have been custom designed and made.
- The top is unlined and slips on to wear with buttons at the front. There is some darkening to the metal threads. This is common on pieces from this era. The mark on the back is the one that showcases this the most. Please see the photos. The top is well made and I think it could be worn either way around.
