Gorgeous beads and even saphirets!&nbsp; This looks like it should be in a museum.</p><p><br /></p><p>Since you have a photo of the original garment can anyone here really nail down the age of the dress bodice? Could it be an antique theater costume?&nbsp; I think that might be the key to age.&nbsp; No question this is fully antique though.</p><p><br /></p><p>As you mentioned the black beads look hand blown.&nbsp; Different sizes, you can see that in the photo. Certainly glass companies like Loetz, etc had iridescent glass way before AB coating.&nbsp; What a find this was.</p><p><br /></p><p>No real help here... just gushing with admiration.&nbsp; But clothing folks, can anyone date this bodice with any precision? Anyone know clothing like this?&nbsp; Maybe:&nbsp;&nbsp; [USER=649]@bluumz[/USER]&nbsp; [USER=1476]@Debora[/USER][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
