This jacket has a history in our family. Owned by a well to do relative that had a troubled life and a tragic end. I got it at age 12 from my Grandmothers attic. Sorry to say I used to wear it when I did theatre. It's always been my dream to have it reproduced so I could wear it without guilt. Beautiful velvet and beaded, but has seen better days.

Wow, really nice! She must've been well off. All that bead work and velvet cost a pretty penny back in the day.
I apologize for the joke but can't help myself. Just how many times do you think this jacket has heard, "Does this make my butt look big?" It is a very pretty jacket always loved bead work on womens clothing and handbags.
