From Theory, this is a stunning silk chiffon with a ribbon-like jacquard weave that has thin colored fibers (red, purple, yellow, green) running through each "stripe" giving it a clean, fresh, delicate basketweave look. Sheer with a floaty drape, almost the same on both sides, perfect for scarf, layering, billowy blouse, etc. for day or evening. Dry cleaning recommended, please test first if you wish to hand wash.
