Beaded Cutwork Jacket
This is such an elegant little
jacket from the 1950's, the floral
cutwork design is completely covered
with beadwork and lined in sheer
black silk chiffon.
The style is quite simple, round
neckline, 3/4 length sleeves and
concealed hook and eye closure at
the center front. It is all about
the embellishment, the beadwork is
quite lavish and it is even three
dimensional in places. The jacket is
outlined with a single band of
sequins bordered by caviar beads and
every bit of the cut work floral
design is beaded. All of the leaves
are done with sequins and bugle
beads and the large flowers are
built up with circular rows of
sequins centered on a large black
bead. This chic little jacket is so
versatile and very wearable. It is
in excellent condition.
