There was exquisite lace made into a flat collar around the neck, and ruffled from sight up the inside of the wide sleeves.

That was the beginning.

The finish was something you never saw anything like before.

It was a trimming made of white and yellow beads.

There was a little heading of white beads sewed into a pattern, then a lacy fringe that was pale yellow beads, white inside, each an inch long, that dangled, and every bead ended with three tiny white ones.
