mosaic appliqué long vest or mini-dress
From the Mosaics Collection, this vest features top to bottom appliqué that produces a mosaic effect. Each of the pieces has been meticulously designed for color and shape to produce this fascinating effect, and attached by top stitching to a very fine silk lining, resulting in a lightweight to medium piece you can wear throughout the year by itself as a vest or as a dress, and over different shirts and tops - bring out whichever color you pick in the design by wearing a similar color underneath. There are lots of different options available. Something new we are trying with the vests to accommodate different size requirement - It can be set to different sizes (please indicate your chest requirement) and a full top to bottom closure can be put in for it to be worn as a dress. You can also pick which side to wrap for closure - see double picture for the options. Product code: C9235

Hand wash.
All garments arrive to you freshly cleaned, unlike regular store-bought items, and are ready to wear.
Dry-cleaning is ok on most items but only if gentle methods are used and the cleaners are familiar with cleaning hand-painted delicate fabrics.
To freshen up any item that doesn’t need deep cleaning simply mist it with a water spray and put in the dryer on medium heat for about 15 min.
All garments can be hand washed. Wash each item separately, cold water only, minimal amount of detergent, and as briefly as possible, no soaking. The wash can be followed by a spin in the washer and dried on medium heat until dry. Knits should be hung-dried and when dry, finished in the dryer for a few minutes to soften.
Hand-pressing may be necessary after the wash and dry to straighten out the seams and edges which tend to pucker or curl on natural fabrics.
Some hand-dyed items may leak a bit of color during the washing, that is normal and will not affect the item. Using liquid softener during the wash will minimize any color leaking.
For more tips and details please refer to the cleaning instructions card included with your package.
