    Ok. I have this mystery dress. I found it in an antiques shop in the middle of nowhere. Not perfect but it reminded me of that movie and song with beautiful Natalie Wood fame. I must of watched that movie 1000 times and love the song. Sort of my theme song once I discovered it.
    -------------------
    It has prong set rhinestones on lace with sequins and beads. Quite a mess really. The prongs on the rhinestones catch on the netting lace. So some tears. Can the prongs be fixed to not catch on the lace?
    It has a nylon zipper so not sure what to think about that.
    1930s or did someone take old curtains and make a dress for prom?
    It is beautiful though. Any thoughts on what it is and what to do with it?
    Thanks. Sandy

    No comments whatsoever? Perhaps the Natalie Wood connection was a bit much?
    It is very heavy if that helps?
