During the 1970's my Family Owned a Fabric Shop in Upstate New York and during this time there were pre-cut Kits that had heat transferred Beading. They can in a variety of colors and directions to cut to size and construct the garment. There were all types available, dresses, jackets, tops, skirts, jackets and vests. Much to our surprise this is one of them . This garment is in a black polyester Crepe with white beading in a Trellis Leaf pattern and fully lined in Black taffeta. It measures 52" from center back to hotsell the floor. 18" armhole opening4 1/2" shoulder length 36, 38' under the armhole opening and graduating to a 52" sweep at the hemline. the border goes from front to back as well as the pattern. Whoever purchased the kit was an outstanding seamstress and the workmanship is outstanding. We sold hundreds of these kits in the shop, and who knows this could have come from our shop. All the pattern beading is in tact and comes from a smoke free environment.
