WOOD-BLOCK-PRINTED CHARMEUSE SILK KAFTAN 2

Substantial charmeuse made from 100% Mulberry silk. Probably the most luxuriant of all woven silk fabrics, charmeuse is like wearing a garment cut from summer breeze. A fluid fabric, notoriously difficult to handle when sewing, molds into a most refined way of covering your body in the hands of a tailor.

This kaftan was crafted entirely by hand, essentially as it was a hundred years ago, using nothing more than a sewing machine, some thread and a needle. Stitching is durable and the kaftan is made to last.

– The seams are flat-felled, meaning once sewn, turned over and sewn again to make them stronger.
– The sides are strengthened by hand-sewn gussets.
– All parts of the kaftan are softly constructed by hand and are unfused.

This fabric was spun into yarn by a small mill in Zhejiang province, historically known as the producers of some of the finest silks.
