The exhibition presented several extravagantly beaded gowns, women’s hostess ensembles, and pantsuits from the 1920s. The beaded gowns included several dresses from the Texas Fashion Collection that had never been shown or rarely been out of storage due to their fragility. Adding sparkle to the exhibition were beaded dresses on loan from the Caralee Biery Smith private collection. Also included in the exhibition were never before seen photographs from New York fashion designer Regina Kobler. The exhibition took place at Fashion on Main in the Universities Center at Dallas from October 8 through December 18, 2009.
