Technical details
About this item
Blue lotus
A lotus on the bodice, sleeves of sheer gauze
A blue lotus sits at the center of the strapless bodice, with pale cloud scrolls beside the petals. Short pearl tassels hang just under the waist, and the skirt falls in fine cream pleats that fade toward white.
The outer robe is a pair of wide sheer sleeves. Ivory and sage are the two colors: the bodice ground and the sleeves change, while the pleats and the embroidery stay on the same frame.
Sleeves
Blue lotus
When the gauze opens, a strand of pearls follows the sleeve down.
Ivory or sage, the lotus on the bodice is the same sprig.

One lotus, two sleeve colors
On the sage set the bodice is pale green and the sleeves are green gauze, while the skirt stays cream. On the ivory set the bodice is warm white and the sleeves are warm sheer gauze. The flower is not swapped for another motif.
Side by side, the change is the ground of the bodice and the sleeves, not the direction of the pleats and not the short pearls at the waist.

Pearls at the waist, and along the ivory sleeve
The short pearl tassels sit at the waist, where the pleats begin. They are not a long fringe dropped to the hem. When the ivory sleeves open, a longer pearl chain hangs from the sleeve edge and moves with the gauze.
The sage sleeves read as a fall of sheer cloth. The lotus stays in the same place as on the ivory bodice. Fold the sleeves flat so the pearls are not snagged.
