Lee Sorensen Clematis Jacket

The Clematis Jacket combines sculptural three-dimensional cut out silk flowers and embroidered flowers with silk thread attached to stems in a garden over a sheer black base. The embroidered leaves, flowers and background are created using natural colors in a classic, elegant combination of silken threads. Climbing vines and flowers make it an ideal jacket for a summer garden wedding or other special social occasion. The Jacket is approximately 26 inches long. The Bolero is approximately 20 inches long. It is shown over a 100% silk dupioni Valentino Shell. This original design includes variations on Clematis vines and flowers. The top edge of the jacket has floating cut-out flowers which allow the color of the jacket to appear ‘inside’ the embroidery. The Jacket works well over mid tone gold, white or blue hues. The neck band is 100% Dupioni silk with two different Water color cross threads. The two color weave using a nubby natural silk thread allows both colors to blend. Mannequin is a size 6, this jacket fits best with size 12 to 14 individual.
