I had been thinking of crocheting, but I really don't want to have to
macrame a dress either. That's why I asked if anyone had come across
a netted fabric that would work. I know that nylon net is way too
weak.

Think macrame for this one. The beads are on cord which is netted
together to create the dress, NOT sewn onto a net fabric. Thus you
need to make your beaded macrame shell and then line it with something
solid (the linen shift). However, if you choose to applique the beads
to clothe and then sew up the shift, DO NOT use net fabric. It won't
be strong enough to support the weight of the beads.
My first encounter with this dress was the article in KMR (a journal
re Egyptian archaeology) which discussed the find and the
reconstruction. IIRC, the hypothesis there was that this was worn
over some form of a linen garment the style of which is presently
unknown.

It's the net fabric I need to find. Any suggestions?

I would suggest using a medium weight natural color linen as a
straight sleeveless shift/tunic. Then do the bead net and fasten it
down to the undershift.

Speaking of such, has anyone ever come across any fabric that might
work for a stage costume of this?
