20s Red Chiffon Dress with Handkerchief Hem

1920s cherry red chiffon dress with cotton lining.  Straight cut sleeveless bodice with capelet over the shoulders. Two areas of shirring over the hips and a handkerchief hem.  Dress is fully lined in tea stained cotton.  Wearable condition and could be fixed up.  There are a couple well done mends in the bodice, see photo.  The main area of concern is the underarms where the self trim has separated from the body.  This could be reinforced and reattached or simply removed altogether.  Either way it's not visible when worn (unless your arms are raised above your head) as the capelet piece covers the area.  Priced as is and presents well.  Nice example of a 20s flapper dress and the color is still quite vibrant.
