A Note from the Contributor

Maria C. Vallejo: Hand Beaded Top A special occasion called us to fancy, shiny, and bright clothing. This top is an excellent example of excessive; shall I call it "excess"? Why not? Its is. I bought to honor the hands that patiently hand-stitched bead by bead. Please note the scalloped edges.

Condition

Fair; some loose beads and threads
