This exquisite 1920's French coat is beaded on cotton, which means that it is completely wearable and that you will probably be able to pass it down to your daughter.

I am just amazed that no one ever slipped into this exquisite 1930's bias cut silk nightgown. It still bears the original tag from R.H.Macy & Co.

A 1930's silk slip trimmed with Alencon lace, still bearing the original store tag from Saks Fifth Ave. is a wonderful thing to find.

Sheer black tulle is lavishly embellished with black sequins, caviar beads and bugle beads creating an elegant collar.

This gorgeous 1930's dinner jacket from I. Magnin sparkles with an abundance of gold metallic soutache braid in a vermicelli pattern on red crepe.

This is a fabulous 1930's top, made from butter cream colored crepe with meandering gold sequins - in the front! The back of this great top is solid black crepe!

Japanese textile mastery at its finest, this gorgeous kimono is made from a textile that is woven, printed and embroidered.

Exquisite hand embroidery worked with cream colored silk thread covers the entire surface of this silk jacket from the 1920's. As beautiful as an embroidered shawl but so much more versatile.

Irish lace or Irish crochet, by whatever name you call it, call this one the best of the best.  I have never seen such a fine example of this hand made lace.

I could not resist the unusual color combination used in this hand embroidered kimono from Japan.  The sophisticated charcoal grey silk is a perfect backdrop for the snowy white silk embroidery.
