Unique as it is designed & made by hand by a local artist fr/Martinique island. Bought locally in the 1980’s
Hand-dyed using a special technique by the artist who signed ir.
Pure silk: lets you skin breathe when the temperature is hot.
You can wear it in the evening w/ the right accessories.
The flowing light silk will nicely flatters your forms and the warm tone of the colours will enhance your tan. Multicolours w/warm tones of red, turquoise, orange, and yellow and well as a lime green. The hues vary with the light
See pictures on the floor for how it is made & the stitches on each side. Has been folded where the stitches are on a picture on the floor with fine dividing lines over it.
Shoulders have ties of the same silk fabric as the dress.
Timeless cut.
Designed as a relaxed free and flowing style. Best is to look at approximate measurements to make sure it fits your body & your style. Purchased when a size 8.
Approximate measurements in inches when flat:
Shoulder to shoulder:12
Pit 2 pit: 16-17
Note: The mannequin is short (like a 10 years old) so pictures give a false impression of the dress being long. On an adult tall woman it about knee-long. Its length at the point of the triangle (see picture on floor) is 46 inches
Condition: it is artisan-made so not perfect: this is what makes its beauty & uniqueness. Never used & never washed but vintage (1980’s): that means that there might be flaws due to aging ‘& tossing between moves. I have not seen any major ones.

@debra_tunney thank you. This artist made a name from her make and mixing of colours. Spent half a day looking at her pieces-ended up buying several of them for myself and as gifts. Before the internationalization of markets, it was fun to find local goods during one’s travels and bring them home as unique gifts or mementos.
