Hand Embroidered Silk Blouse; Coral & Bone
This is a relaxed fit fine silk blouse with bracelet length wide loose sleeves.
Created from the loveliest antique Indian textile. A very fine quality lightweight silk with a tactile soft drape in a creamy ivory shade is exquisitely hand embroidered in shades of coral pink, lavender and pale lemon. Beautifully executed drawn thread work adds more fine detail. A particularly delightful work of artisanship.
A fully adjustable scoop neckline is threaded with a tasselled rouleau drawstring, so it can be worn loose and off the shoulder or drawn in close to the throat.
Long enough to be worn loose or tucked into a waistband.
Created from a carefully selected antique textile.

Sizing As the fit of all these garments is meant to be loose and fluid it provides a fair bit of flexibility on sizing.
I have designated this a medium size. It is graded to a UK 14, but its generous cut would means it would work for a wide range of sizes from UK 10-16 depending how loose you like the fit.
Shown on a size UK10 mannequin.
I have given the actual garment measurements below so it is very important you ascertain for yourself how it will work with your own measurements. Remember to double the bust and waist figures to give maximum circumferences, and that these pieces are meant to be loose fitting, so allow a generous amount of room over your particular body measurements
Underarm to underarm (bust) ; 58.5cms / 23”
Waist; 58.5cms / 23”
Cuff circumference; 51cms / 20”
Back neckline to hem length; 55cms / 21.5"
Construction
As with all of the Pavilion Parade Vestments pieces, the quality of the finish is paramount, with French and bound seams throughout (no overlocking) to ensure both a comfortable wear and a long life.
Each of these pieces is created from vintage 100% natural fibre textiles. The design is very considered, with the cut engineered to make the best use of the various areas of beautiful embroidered or printed design on the particular textile chosen. I will spend some hours before cutting trying out different pattern layouts to ensure the most pleasing finished effect.
Care;
Safest to dry clean only to best preserve the integrity of the silk embroidery.
The ingredients Please be aware that these unique pieces are created from vintage textiles, which have had a previous life, so consequently there may be the odd very minor smudge or tiny catch to the surface of the fabric. These in no way impinge on their beauty, and you can be sure that they do not compromise the integrity of the material. Any little area of actual damage or thinning is repaired with a tiny embroidered patch (one of my favourite features!), and this is always clearly mentioned in the description.
Sustainability Every time a Pavilion Parade piece is purchased a donation is made via Ecologi to fund the planting of a tree and make a positive net contribution to combatting climate change. The trees are environmentally high value and part of gold standard schemes designed and managed to benefit local communities.
Packaging Garments are dispatched in acid free tissue paper and recyclable cardboard boxes sealed with kraft paper eco tape. These are placed inside pouches for weather protection during transit which are made entirely from an environmentally friendly compostable bio-plastic created from sugar-cane.
