Johnny Was heavily embroidered Pacifica velvet blouse/jacket NWT

Absolutely extraordinary and truly a complete showstopper, this Johnny Was Pacifica Velvet Blouse/Jacket is one of the most breathtaking velvet pieces the brand has ever released. Crafted from luxuriously soft, liquid-like black velvet, it’s richly adorned with ornate all-over placement embroidery—a garden of vibrant florals, swirling vinework, and medallion motifs in jewel-tone threads that glow against the deep onyx background. This piece is incredibly flattering and beautifully constructed, with a draped, easy silhouette that floats over the body. The embroidery is not just decorative—it’s art. Each motif feels intentionally placed to elongate the torso and create a visually slimming effect. One of the most wonderful features of this style is its versatility. Although technically a blouse, many collectors (including yourself!) wear it effortlessly as a velvet jacket. It layers beautifully over tanks, camis, silk shells, or even a fitted dress. Fully buttoned, it becomes a statement top; worn open, it transforms into a luxe embroidered jacket with dramatic presence. The back is just as stunning as the front, featuring a band of circular embroidered medallions and botanical motifs across the shoulders for a truly unforgettable finish. Cuff embroidery adds one more detail that sets it apart from anything else. 82% Rayon 18% Silk Placement Embroidery Approximate lay flat measurements Bust 24” Shoulder to hem 29” Z 0851
