From J. Mendell, made in Italy, this is a glitzy, glamourous jacquard, lightweight with lovely drape. The black on black design is modern and stylized, and there are matte and shiny areas on either side, one side featuring more shiny, the other more matte. Both sides are shown in the photo. Best for drapey eveningwear, tunic, dress, gown, overjacket, etc. It's a little bit sheer so for a skirt, dress or gown it should be lined. For special occasion. Dry cleaning recommended.
