Such a unique piece and completely unworn. It's made of a 50% silk 50% viscose blend, and feels sumptuously smooth. The sleeves are pleated in a criss-cross basket weave pattern (and the white dots you see where the stiches are, are the maker's marks for construction). You wear it like a shawl, but with your arms through the small pleated sleeves (which are more like cuffs anyway). It's more relaxed and glamorously drapes across your body.
