A Basque waist mini dress that drops winningly into a pleated v-line hem, cut in sheer cotton gauze. The short sleeves are tiered with ruffles and a velvet ribbon tie at the bust, with lace trim throughout. Made in an antique-inspired print based on 16th- and 17th-century decorative imagery, with ribbons and florals in shades of purple and mauve, like something a performer might have discovered among remnants of the old world.
