The closest I'll ever get to having a white beaded gown is this tank top

My favorite "cute" white tank died on me so picked up this simple lace trimmed tank last week while at WalMart for $5! That's how they get ya: go in for groceries, come out with a shirt.
Anywho, my old favorite had bead embellished lace trim so this one was a good replacement except . .

. . I couldn't help myself and sewed tiny white seed beads at regular intervals using the lace pattern guide. Nice but dang, you can't even see them! Added the larger pearl beads while watching the Survivor finale.

Easy peasy and mo' better.
