1920s chiffon dress 1920s Silk Chiffon Bias Cut Day Dress – Shrimpton CoutureThis is yet another piece from that same estate that produced an important Worth cape and the woman who owned these pieces was both wealthy and well travelled.

This is yet another piece from that same estate that produced an important Worth cape and the woman who owned these pieces was both wealthy and well travelled. This is a wonderful bias cut, hand screened silk chiffon flapper dress. The color is slightly more vibrant in person but the overall effect is soft and romantic - almost dreamy!† The piece work to create the skirting in particular is extraordinary - it actually used curved seams where the panels are inserted to create the shape! I cannot even imagine working with the fabric ot do that! A romantic caped bodice tops the almost weightless panelled skirting. The entire dress floats and moves with the barest of movement on your part. The edges are rolled and cross stitched. It is extraordinarily lovely and still strong and wearable with care. These where meant to float over a smaller frame so I have listed it as SML-MED but it is flexible in terms of size. A truly beautiful dress and in excellent condition!
Bust: 22" flat across the back from side seam to side seam
Waist: 20" flat across the back from side seam to side seam
Hips: open
Bodice: approx 18 from shoulder to dropped waist
Skirt: approx 33" from the dropped waist to bottom hem
The dress is fully lined with a pink crepe silk that feels like it was hand washed at some point but is strong and stable. The upper bodice is lined in netting. It slips over the head and has an attached waist with a jeweled clasp. Hand rolled edges and hand finished. It is in what I would consider excellent shape with no real flaws to note. Please remember that pieces of this age will have a natural patina and should not be expected to be absolutely perfect (though this is close)! It is after all almost 100 years old!

Note that antique and twenties pieces are final sale. They will be packed exceedingly well and we only sell pieces that will stand up to the stress of shipping, however, having pieces potentially shipped multiple times through multiple customs and countries is too hard on garments that are historically important and deserve to be treated with love and care. Please purchase accordingly.

A beautifully written and illustrated tale of kindness, courage and (imaginary) friendship
Format: Hardcover
A beautifully written and illustrated tale of kindness, courage and friendship (even if the friend is in your imagination). This is a great picture book for building self-esteem and for helping early learners to discover ways to overcome obstacles by showing how upbeat confidence boosting self-talk is the way to go.
I adore this beautiful family and how the climb up the slide's stairs is so relatable-you just feel the endless up, up, up as you ascend, like climbing up the stairs of the high dive and looking down and just that whoosh of fear that vertakes you from the seemingly dizzying height. I love the kindness on all the adults' faces and the cute expressions from the child. The lion is magnificent. I love that it gives shape to a child’s imaginary friend and that this friend is a true safety net -which is really the child being their own safety net. The end pages are bright orange and sunny, using the cute lion face in the pattern and all the illustrations, which are predominantly blue and yellow/orange illustrations are the perfect backdrop for the tumble of dark curls on the child’s head which allow the size of the lion to appear gigantic, and yet, calm and sweet like a kitty cat. Very sweet book! I love its message of bravery, confidence building and how you can truly be your own best friend.

Sweet Story about facing your fears!
Format: Hardcover
A trusted comrade, a little girl’s lion is always there. Her lion helps her through times of stress, or if she makes a mistake, or if she is nervous. A girl and her lion, the dream team!
One day the little girl goes on a new adventure, a brand new slide arrived at the playground and she can’t wait to try it with Lion. The ladder is a bit taller than she thought and with every climb, uncertainty starts to creep in. This slide is so high! How will we ever get down? The young girl wonders. Turning back towards Lion (since this is usually the part her brave lion steps in to help) she notices that he is afraid too!
This is such a sweet story about facing your fears! I love the bright yellow and orange with blue color palette. Having a lion inside to symbolize bravery is such a wonderful way to help young readers with facing their fears. We love to teach our children that fear is a healthy response, it’s a message that our body is giving us! It is also healthy to work past that fear (although sometimes we need some help doing just that).

Love!
Format: Hardcover
A little girl feels like she can courageously tackle anything with the help of her brave lion. When she climbs a tall slide, however, and her lion becomes afraid, she must summon her own strength to overcome her fear.
I especially love the illustrations in this validating and reassuring read.
