VOLUP Antique 1910s Edwardian Black Beaded Dress!

*Photos have been lightened to show details*

Features:

- gorgeous iridescent aurora borealis black beads create floral motifs on chest and sleeves
- bloused bodice with square panel down front
- square neckline
- beige cotton floral lace collar
- nipped in waist
- flowing, flared skirt
- long slightly flared sleeves
- closes with snaps down the side of the rectangular panel on bodice, hook and eye at waist, and more snaps down the side of the skirt
- black fabric feels synthetic like taffeta, but is lighter weight than taffeta; I think it's rayon grosgrain? The name of type of rayon is escaping me right now

Good antique condition. The collar has yellowed with age, and the back of the neck is a bit discolored. A couple of tiny holes in the skirt. Structurally sound and very wearable! Great size!
