The set is crafted in a distinguished weight of silk Oxford and seamed together with decorative ladder stitch. Intended to be worn together the hand made silk fringe cascades in a petal pink brushstroke from shoulder to floor. The contrast between the sturdy weight of Oxford and the whispered fringe create harmony in motion when worn together. Each fringe requires 30 hours of detailed artistry alone.
