From a very famous designer, this is a stunning blouseweight silk, lightweight, floaty, almost equally saturated on both sides and just a teeny bit sheer. I'm in love with the print, which is vintage-looking floral with a "newsprint" look, in black and pearly white. Make a soft and feminine blouse, dress, skirt, tunic, overshirt, etc (bottoms should be lined). Dry cleaning recommended, or if you wish to hand wash at home, please test first.
