| History: | Be personally went and picked out the beads to make this dress in the Czech Republic in 2003. The dress got it’s name because it jingles as you wear it. The vintage Swarovski crystal beads are in pristine condition and were manufactured in Austria between 1920 - 1938 and 1945 - 1954. To prove their authenticity, Be has the honor of taking them directly from their original packages. | |
