Black and Blue Beaded Vest

A sheer black kimono silk vest hand appliquéd with dark blue and purple narrow strips. Glass beads were hand stitched to add sparkle and glitter.

The sheer black has a woven design of clouds. It is lined to about hip level with a hand painted striped silk charmeuse in blue. The panel along the bottom is not lined to emphasize the see-through quality of the fabric. The panel has slits along the sides.

6 glass beads align with the hooks and eyes along the front.
