Wow, Thanks. Interesting solutions. The beads on my costume are interspersed on the bra and belt just here and there so the spray idea wouldn't work for this job but I'll remember it for the future. I do remember way back when I made my first costume I hung the fringe outside prior to attaching it to the costume and sprayed it with clear spray to protect it - similar idea. I suppose as another solution I could always remove the beads and replace with something new also.
