Agnieszka White Silk Split-Sleeve Blouse

Lightweight silk gently envelops the torso, while sleeves featuring swaths of embellishment command queenly attention. Antique round mirror-backed buttons line the front opening, and the sleeve insets are fashioned from fabric sample pieces of gold organza stitched with pearls, salvaged 3-D lace motifs, and a fur cuff (faux, though most can't tell). Style this as you like--I envisioned it as a Russian-inspired ensemble for a winter wedding, but other ideas are a Hollywood tailored pant, a lá Marlene Dietrich, or a smart miniskirt and boots.
Created on size 12 mannequin.
