The Hydrangeas jacket from Designer Silk Artist is a unique work of wearable art.
The jacket has been created from the finest Habotai silk, a silk fabric that is woven to create a very even finish that takes silk paints and dyes well enabling them to flow smoothly. A heavier weight of silk than the scarf weight has been chosen to hold the shape of the jacket and still allow for the soft flowing drape of the silk. Each piece of the jacket silk fabric has been hand painted and dyed in gorgeous hydrangeas colours to form the main body and sleeves. The jacket has then been trimmed in a vibrant and luxurious soft fuchsia silk velvet (silk/viscose mix velvet). The result is a lightweight work of wearable art and a versatile as well as decorative addition to your wardrobe.
The design has been created by silk artist Katherine Edge.
The jacket is a complete one off. Other floral themed jackets may be made by Designer Silk Artist but they will be different in colour and/or design to this one making it a unique piece.
The jacket is free size and as a swing jacket is not a 'fitted' garment. The exact sizes are as follows
Shoulder seam to shoulder seam inches
Underarm seam to underarm seam across the back inches
Armhole depth inches
Nape of neck to hem inches
Sleeves from top of shoulder to hem inches
As a general guide this will fit a size 12 to 16 comfortably and possible a size smaller or larger depending on proportions. Please check the measurements against your existing wardrobe.
The photographs are taken with and without flash to show how the colours and the luxurious sheen of the silk look in both natural and artificial lighting. Every effort has been taken to portray the colours as accurately as possible and variations are mentioned in the description in order to provide the best customer service and to avoid disappointment, but please note colours may show differently depending on your computer settings. The photographs in this listing are chosen to show the colours at their best and most accurate with average brilliance settings and daylight settings on laptop, iPad and mobile devices. If you wish to colour match please contact me for details.
