This is an incredible vintage black jacket and sleeveless top - very heavily beaded with royal blue bugle beads. The vest top is beaded on the front and lined with small side slits, and the jacket is amazingly beaded all over. This was once a designer item worth at least £200 - at least 25 years old now (maybe more).
The black jacket base is 100% viscose with literally thousands of blue beads in a Greek Key design and is semi sheer. The top is fully lined in 100% polyester. Neither words nor photos can do this item justice, it is just unbelievable. Very heavy to post unfortunately but a real collector's item. There are no manufacturers labels which leads me to believe it was possibly especially made for someone. Certainly an outfit for a very special occasion. The beading alone must have taken days to achieve. Measurements are as follows: TOP - length 24"; JACKET - length 28"; TOP - total underarm-to-underarm is 49"; JACKET - total underarm to underarm is 50" but the jacket is edge to edge so will fit up to 52"/54". Although the label in the top clearly says 24, I suspect this would more comfortably fit a size 22.
