Story behind the treasure: My father bought this lovely dance dress for my mother when she was in her twenties. The dress is black chiffon covered in tiny jet beads arranged in diamond shapes. Over the years I have borrowed it for charity pantomimes e.g. Wicked Witch in Sleeping Beauty and Spanish Dancer, Christmas parties etc. I inherited it when my mother died and will pass it down in the family for many more years of fun.
