Brand: Irene Castle Corticelli Silks. Irene Castle was a famous dancer and film star of the 1910s-1920s who became a style icon and capitalized on her fame to create a clothing line.
She is credited as the first film celebrity to have their own self-named fashion brand.
This gorgeous piece is circa 1924, and I was able to find a newspaper ad for what I believe is this exact piece. I'm only allowed to include 10 images in this listing, but let me know and I'd be happy to show you!
Crepe silk with a softer lining and a fur collar, little baubles down the front and also on the back. And the most beautiful pleats all around.
+++ Measurements +++

+++ Condition +++
Condition overall is good with a few minor flaws. There is some fading on the back, a couple of missing baubles (not really noticeable), and the ties at the collar are missing. Label is a bit loose. The lining hangs slightly below the exterior.
Wearable with care and an absolutely fabulous piece of history.
