Missy Mop Says: This a really lovely silk, it’s quite understated for a silk, the colour palette together is quite muted. At first glance you might think it was a vintage cotton as early as the 30s 40s but the cloth itself being silk has a bit of structure. A cloth that could work across the decades and equally for day and evening wear.
