MaggiRos,
Personally, I envision this one in black chiffon with both jet and iridescent
black beading, both tube and round beads. Go for a scrolling pattern for the
beads, keep the really heavy stuff away from the edge of the hems to keep it
moving softly. Only a thing line of them at the hem to frame it. Concentrate
the sparkly bits between knee and thigh to get maximum light, as the black on
black might be lost. Same with the bodice, put the most work into where the
light will catch it - across the chest and centre front. Go utterly crazy on
the girdle where it will take the weight. You might even find a patterned
chiffon out there to get you started.

OK, 20s, I can go with that. Colors? Fabric
suggestions? Websites that don't require a
subscription? I'm not committed to perfect accuracy
but I'd like to be in the ballpark for whatever date
the dress is trying to be, and make a pretty, wearable
dress.
