A gorgeous , mindblowing vintage piece that looks handmade / custom made
This can be worn as a maxi skirt or a tube dress since the back is elasticized at upper border
Made of gorgeous black velvet with body to it, the front is stunning with multicolor embroidery of a peacock & flowers in handembroidered, what i believe is called crewel work & rare to find these days
The crewel work is amazing with raised 3 D effect on the base velvet
And the scale of the peacock is absolutely mindblowing ….huge & splayed out over the entire front
Then there are the flowers, the little birds
The colors are to die for too ….a very unusual combination of blue & greens & yellow with bits of red & pink!
Unlined.
This is vintage art to wear in mint condition .
