This is the most amazing piece from the collection. This textile was handmade and tailored for this woman.
The stitching is all done by hand and the Chantilly lace was applied by hand to the front. The buttons are mother of pear and the straps each have a tiny little loop for closing. This would have taken another person to get her dressed in this amazing textile! This is a lightweight silk, elegant and would be stunning for design inspiration. I've left this collection in as found, unwashed condition for collectors, please see condition details below.
A lovely find, I would LOVE to see this design reproduced!
