Great Gatsby Fashion Inspirations; Part 2

Continuing my theme of "Gatsby" as I have some lovely pieces that would easily pass into that Scott Fitzgerald era. Dont forget the "Flapper" parties and 1920's celebrations all through Feb in the Blue Mountains! A must visit!!
Above & below; hundreds of beads, handsewn onto this palest of green silk shell-top.


    
Below; a double layer of silk, handbeaded cami,which is bias-cut, and has spaghetti straps. 


Now this evening dress by Moss & Spy is just devine. Thousands of beads sewn onto ivory silk.
    Just 3 little pearl buttons at the back, bugle beads trim the straps and yoke


    Sheer divineness! I just love this dress. I can see Mia Farrow in it!                              (from the 70's Gatsby movie)


                    Cocktail length slipper-satin halter-neck dress

                         Close up of the handi-work in the bodice.


How cute is this hand crochered top? In buttercup yellow. Could be worn with  a fine silky knit underneath?

I have a pink version of this slip as well; can be worn as a slip or a day dress.

       Stunning bias-cut slipper-satin evening dress, with dropped cowl neck
Plunging back! No bras here girls!
