A wearable heirloom, handcrafted from a vintage embroidered tablecloth. This bias-cut dress is designed to let the original corner hem of the cloth become the garment's hem — a signature detail that preserves the integrity of the antique textile while creating something entirely new.
The embroidery features intricate floral and geometric motifs worked in tonal thread, with the scalloped and embroidered border falling asymmetrically at the hem exactly as it was woven. The fabric has been hand-dyed the softest shade of lavender, giving it a dreamy, ethereal quality that makes the embroidery shimmer. The bias cut gives the dress a fluid, body-skimming drape with a sleeveless silhouette and simple round neckline. Low cut in the back but cut above a typical bra strap.Â
This is a one-of-a-kind piece — once it's gone, it's gone.
