This blue silk satin Delphos tea gown is from the 1920s. It was inspired by the linen pleated chitons worn by the Greeks. The gown molds to the body&#039;s curves and is lightweight. Venetian glass beads give the the gown the necessary weight to hold it in place. The dress distinctive pleats were done by hand.

This 1920s evening gown is made from a pale pink pleated silk. It has a pink silk cord and glass beads as decorative pieces. This gown, along with others similar to it, was originally designed as a dress that could be worn as a tea gown. It was initially a garment meant for the home. However, when informal, body conforming styles became popular in 1920s, people began wearing the dress out. This was a trend that many Hollywood actresses popularized.

This dressing gown from 1930 is part of the collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Made from stenciled rose silk, the dressing gown has sleeves that extend beyond the length of the arm, suggesting that Fortuny&#039;s pieces are as much wearable garments as dramatic statements. The stenciling suggests that the inspiration for this garment might have come from the embroideries of North African djellabahs. Though obviously a statement on its own, the dressing gown can be paired with the Delphos dress.

Mariano Fortuny first began making the Delphos dress in the early 1900s. The one pictured here, which is currently part of the collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is probably from around the late 1920s-late 1930s. It is made from rust pleated silk and the mantle is made from brown and gray silk velvet that has been printed with metallic silver. The Delphos dress was inspired by the classical Greek chiton. It has a wave-like quality to it that is enhanced by the pleating. The mantle is decorated in venetian glass beads.
