This does have alot of beading. It is vintage but no tags inside This is made for a shorter person, probably more for someone around 5'-5'4" inches as the tallest height Does have some missing beads on the back of the left hip but the beads are pretty well intact This is probably silk, all these old beaded dresses are usually made with silk The inner lining does have sweat stains though. I would also dry clean this and not wash it in a regular dryer Would make a cool dolly Parton costume
