<p>[QUOTE="Renee Yancy, post: 2021207, member: 12535"]Here is a fascinating story about the restoration of actress Ellen Terry's jewel beetle dress/costume that she wore in 1888 when she played Lady MacBeth in London, if anyone is interested. Apparently, the beetles shed the shells so no harm was done to any beetles in the original making of it! <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1366616/Victorian-beetle-wing-dress-worn-Ellen-Terry-display-50k-repair-job.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1366616/Victorian-beetle-wing-dress-worn-Ellen-Terry-display-50k-repair-job.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1366616/Victorian-beetle-wing-dress-worn-Ellen-Terry-display-50k-repair-job.html</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
