Unique Design

  • The photographic design comes from award-winning photographer, Beverly K. Copen. She says about this photo:
As I lived 3 years in Japan, I love art that is any form of Asian. This comes from a majestic wall hanging that was actually from Viet Nam, almost 40 years ago.

Care

      Which Fabric is the Best Choice for You?

      Will you wear the sash or not?

      The poly chiffon is semi-transparent. This would be the best choice if you plan to wear it open, without the sash. The silk twill is a luxurious choice if you plan to wear the sash. The silky knit is a slinky, with a fluid drape fabric and would be best worn with the sash. Both the silk twill and silky knit print through to the back side about 50%, whereas the poly chiffon print through is 70-80%. So, the underside will show slightly white if you wear it open when the visibility could flip to the underside while wearing it.
      • Print Through
        • Silk Twill - Medium- Roughly 40-50%
        • Silky Knit -  Medium- Roughly 50%
        • Poly Chiffon - High - Roughly 70-80%
