<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeff Drum, post: 4434644, member: 6444&quot;]OK, I do not collect women&#039;s clothing, and don&#039;t want to start. I need something new to collect like I need a hole in the head. My wife and daughters wouldn&#039;t want it, so I mostly just ignore it. But sometimes I see things headed for a dumpster, though, and I just can&#039;t let it happen. So having never paid attention to beadwork before, here I am posting two dresses with what looks to me to be pretty amazing hand beadwork. But please correct me if I am wrong.</p><p><br /></p><p>Neither dress has any labels. Done on sewing machines, but with added snaps. I don&#039;t even recognize the material, but very very fine, is it silk? The beadwork looks hand-done to me, but is it - and if so where and when? Europe, native america, china, ??? I can take more pics if I&#039;m not showing the right parts. The red dress has a beaded jacket with shoulder pads that goes over a full length dress. The black dress is also a full length dress, beaded at top all the way around neckline and down front, and all around the bottom, with what looks like gold thread.</p><p><br /></p><p>Condition of both is pretty great it seems to me. But was whoever put this in the junk pile right? Does this deserve to go in a dumpster? Or maybe it should at least go to a thrift store? Or if there is a demand for things like this, then what is it called?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]380169[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]380171[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]380172[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]380173[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]380174[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]380175[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]380176[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]380177[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]380178[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]380179[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
