Thank you, Denise and Sharon. Although most of our actresses protest
wearing anything from our collection of furs (every community theater
is really a community attic, with so many thoughtful people cleaning
out their closets and attics and thinking ah, this is TOO GOOD to

There are not clips on my little critter. I checked it again and there
doesn't appear that clips were removed. Have you seen the critters lined
up side by side and worn over the shoulder?
I'm pretty sure they wore them end to end, not side by side. I've seen them
in older movies, both
I have some minks from my boyfriends grandmother and they are a combination.
Two are sewn side to side and two have the clips. I know they were all worn
together but I haven't figure out how yet. But the definitely are sewn side
by side.

My theater's costume collection also has a stole, or scarf, or
shoulder drape (we're not sure how it was meant to be worn) with two
minks sewn side-by-side and a single mink below. There are no clips,
but the single mink has a cord with crocheted ball hanging from the
underside.

I can remember friends of my parents wearing fur stoles like these two
photos show.
I also found one more photo that shows a couple attached side by side, then
The Label says it is Filipino, Iloilo City being in the Philippines..a very
cool find indeed!

The sleeves are short and in a bell shape like the 1890s.

Definitely Filipino clipped butterfly sleeves.Here are some instructions,
as demonstrated on a Barbie doll. The notes indicate this was how the
author's mother did them on people size clothes, which she's adapted for the
doll.

To my understanding or what I was told once, the bead pattern is not scales
but a representation of pineapple.
Lately I have been going to estate sales. Sunday, I went to a sale and bought
a stunning beaded designer evening gown or wedding gown from the Philippines.
The entire gown has gold beads and is accented of large pearl-like beads. It
is heavy...weighing app. 25 lbs. The design house is Borja
What does the rest of the gown look like??? (Thats a hint for you to post
more pictures :)

The critter would have a snap/ball at the other end to hold him in
place. Also, their jaws were often clips. Really strong clips. I
have a red fox one. I wished my aunt had given me the gray fox (but
my cousin got it, so that's ok!).

I remember my mom wearing hats with meshy tops in the early 60s. She

Hi Penny,
That sleeve looks like a very traditional, typical Phillippine-style sleeve
for evening wear. I certainly wouldn't date the dress by the sleeve at all.
I would bet the dress is from the 1980s.
The beading is lovely.

I took the gown to my jewelry class for my teacher to identify the type of
beads. She said all of them are glass. The three stands of gold bugle
beads are unusual. They are gold in the middle and brown on the edges.
I have thought about the gown's date all day. When I was teaching at VCU,
Very ornate gown... I would also think mid - late 60's. The 80's had a
fascination for shoulder pads using padding not netting from what I have
seen but I am happy to be corrected.
