Help with dating a 19teens / 1920s dress

[Auntie Establishment]

Hello, I am looking for help authenticating this dress as a genuine article from the early 20th century. It is of silk (burn tested) and cotton lace. There are no fastenings; it pulls over the head, and has a ribbon belt at waist with one single snap. There is an interior channel at the waist that holds what appears to be elastic. It is completely brittle now. The machine stitching is extremely tiny, and there is also hand stitching at various parts of the dress. There is one seam in the skirt that has selvedge, all the other seams are French or at least the raw edges are enclosed. The dress has a very deep hem. I hope the pictures can describe the dress further and more accurately than I.

Very pretty - you might even call it a tea gown, but its an afternoon dress, and I would say c. 1922.
These dresses are similar and the photo was taken July 1922:

thank you Jonathan! My grandma got married in 1921 and these look very similar in style to her wedding dress.

Really pretty!

I'm going to be opportunistic and ask if you have a photo of your grandmother in her wedding dress that you'd care to share with our wedding resource. https://forums.vintagefashionguild.org/forums/wedding-resource/

Aha! I will be happy to do that. I would have posted it here but I am way to lazy to dig it out... But now that you've asked I have no excuses! I didn't realize there was a thread for wedding dresses. I have many photos of dresses to share!
