This captivating print is a blend of the classic and the fanciful (just like all good stories).
Created using art spanning more than three centuries, we layered two stunning 18th century ink-on-silk hanging scrolls from Japan painted with wild plum blossoms, peach trees, magpies, and a luminous moon to create this design, then added other whimsical elements including illustrations of wild deer, birds, and cranes.
The trim comes from French silk embroidery fragments from the early 1800’s, and the pattern on the bodice is a replica of block-printed French paper from the same era.
The result is chic, romantic and timeless.
You can also wear it two ways, with the moon on the front of the bodice, or the back depending on your mood.
The nature of our viscose means it’s slightly sheer, so we recommend wearing a full or half-slip with this style.
100% viscose (derived from plant fibers such as wood and bamboo).
