This is a fabulous stretch lace piece from Anna Sui, with a puckery texture and a beautiful, more modern serpentine floral design. The stretch is in the length only with great recovery, making the banded selvedges very useful as a hem. Very drapey and silky, basic black, photographed on light and dark backgrounds. It's perfect for a pretty tee or top, or line for a gorgeous dress. Dress up or down. If you want to try hand-washing, please test first.
