This is a genuine antique women's bodice/blouse jacket handmade with black beading, metal stays/supports and metal hidden buttons.  It is in very good condition for its age, but there are a few small holes in the right arm and lower front bodice (as pictured).  The material is a polished cotton.  Black beads are glass and multi-faceted.  An amazing find for use, display or study!  Purchased at an estate sale in rural Illinois, measurements follow:

shoulder to shoulder 12.5"
bust 28"
waist 24"
shoulder to waist 17"
sleeve length 17"
