I'm not sure what category to put this message in, because I don't know how this garment was created. That is, actually, my question: How was this garment created? It looks like rhinestones, but instead of rhinestones you have little soft fabric balls. Anyone familiar with this?

It looks like caviar beads to me. Here is a youtube video that came up after a search "apparel caviar beads" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hg6MPf2R5c (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hg6MPf2R5c) so you can see a process of how one person does it.

To uniform for the beads and with the perfect outline.
It is most likely beaded sequins sewn down with an embroidery machine in a line.
You could look at the inside to see the stitch pattern, but a feed mechanism feeds the beads down and sews them on in line.
ZSK had some fancy applicators like this at a trade show, seems like a whole lot of trouble, unless your customer base would like something like this on a regular basis.

Zane's got it.
Caviar beads are far more random in their application. And much more haphazard....

Thanks.. I was too stupid to look at the inside of the garment... I will check it out more closely next time I am in the area. I don't think it's something I would ever want to get into doing, but I am still curious about how it's done.

I my friend, love special effects. I don't think it's ever worth the investment unless you can make a major upsell (which never really works), and they are all a headache to achieve and slow the production, but the results can be cool, and work great in countries where labor is cheap, and lead times are 45+ days.
Here is a Barudun with a sequins attachment running - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XATn9lk4u7A (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XATn9lk4u7A)
I have a SuperDry shirt that has instead of a sequins or beads or balls, a "knotted rope" that is sewn down to the shirt with a walking stitch. Looks similar to a chain stitch, but is SuperDry (http://SuperDry) is the king of special effect.

Just because it's one of my favorite shirts, here is the applied "yarn"

pretty cool effect, somehow they have no backing as well, wash away maybe? But there was none when I got the shirt and the fabric didn't really seam pre washed.
