A Secret Silken Brocade Garden
A fine silk brocade makes an exclusive garment, and this vest is no exception. It's rare to see this level of texture and detail in a contemporary brocade. In fact, it seems as though the finely intertwined embellished sections that make up the floral motif occupy more of the surface of the fabric than does the flat weave.
There are plenty of words you could use to describe this Black on Black Silk Floral Brocade Vest: intricate, mysterious and refined are just a few. One thing you're unlikely to call it is neutral, even though it's a black — this is one of the most exciting fabrics you will find. In intimate settings, the vest's pattern will appear to shimmer and wind sensually. In direct light, the full effect of the floral vines comes out to draw attention and entertain the eye.
The silk itself holds the secret to this unique effect. The ultra-thin strands of the material allow the augmented weave of this brocade to retain a soft and flexible hand. This gossamer quality of the raw material also creates the shine — every individual string catches the light in turn. You can get some sense of this from looking at photographs, but this fabric exceeds expectations when you see it in person.
A fine embellished fabric such as this is right at home in evening outfits. Pair it with your fine metallic jewelry. You'll especially love the way it combines with floral designs, animal motifs and antique art nouveau pieces. If you want to communicate a more relaxed feeling, don't worry — the quality of the fabric and the sheen of the black liner give you the option for a natural, flowing look whether you're wearing the vest open or closed.
When you get right down to it, the effect of this vest is more than the sum of its physical characteristics. It comes alive with your personality, your movements and the outfit pairings you choose to make.
