Evening Dress
In the 1920s the silhouette became straighter and the natural waistline was ignored. The Russian-French designer Romain de Tirtoff (Erté) designed this evening gown for a fashion house in San Francisco. The fabric is woven of silver-plated copper thread and embroidered with coloured glass beads and pearls. The stylized Persian and Egyptian motifs were all the rage thanks to the discovery of Tutankhamun’s grave in 1922.
