      I saw a number of those dresses in a vintage store on Haight in SF. They seem to be vintage-style flapperesque dresses that are made of a beaded chiffon overlay. As I recall they were more than $ 200.00, but beautiful and in all different colors.

          Those actually look like the outer shells of "vintage" reproductions. An antiques store near where I live sell these repros as flapper dresses, and that looks like the stretch beaded outside, if you took the satin slip away. Maybe you could try that.

          I have emailed the store to see what the company name is, but they're kind of like this:
          ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...280_.jpg

          it's beaded stretch chiffon, with a same color slip underneath. It may be very delicate work to take the slip out, as the sheath and slip may share seams, but it would be very close.
