Short Kimono Jacket
This is a fabulously elegant jacket, that combines well with many basics and can be dressed up or down for a really unique look. It drapes beautifully from the shoulders and has softly shaped lapels in front. It is hand painted on sand washed silk charmeuse. This luxury silk is buttery soft and has a rich and subtle shine that enhances color. I can interpret this piece in the ocean colors: mermaid blues and greens, deep blue-violet and purples with red violet or magenta ribbons around the borders. It can be sculpted for the petite frame or lengthened in front or back for a longer look, as well.
