All of the beads

Tagged a UK 12 but please check actual measurements

Fully lined in a nude silk net through the upper shoulders and a black silk through the skirt & bodice

The knit through the body is nubby and both the flowers and braiding are raised so has an extra dimension to it

Note that there is one teeny pinhole on the skirt near the side seam and there are some very tiny dot marks present

The mix of textiles used in the construction of this caftan was specifically noted upon on the display card that accompanied this dress in the exhibit.
