My long ago dead uncle’s wife used to make those glitzy costumes for country western stars. She even made one for Elvis once.
Very cool. A month or so ago I saw a Ken Burns documentary on Country and Western singers, and they did a little segment on the people who did those fancy Western style costumes in the 1950s and 1960s. Mentioned several companies that produced them, especially in California.
I wouldn't be surprised if they mentioned your Uncle's wife.
Amazing work they did.
