Indigo Moon Embroidered Brown backgound with lavender and pink jacket of the day 485


Label

Indigo Moon. 

The Cut

The jacket has two slits or vents at the bottom of the two side seams under the arms at waist level and below.

No pockets. No darts.

Sleeves

Wide sleeves. Lined. The whole jacket is lined in black.

Collar

Simple shirt style collar.

Buttons

Six middle-size buttons with eight sets of alternating single and parallel cuts. A bit like a clockface.




A sevenths buttons is sewn inside on a waaist level tab. But no washing instructions.

Sequins and Beads

The sequins are not too scratch, although one of two have curled up. What does upset my fingertips, which have no pockets to hide in, are the teeny beads.They are tubular with indentations like fine fork marks. But what makes them so uncomfortable is the two 'circular' edges, as if they have been chopped off a long glass tube, leaving sharp bits of glass.

I looked to see whether I could remove them. Would it ruin the appearance of the jacket? No, I don't think so. The large contrast colour satin flowers would stay, and the embroidered stems, and the sequin 

Colours

The fabric is a rusty reddish brown, with slubs of horizontal dashes of paler colour. 

The embroidery threads are turquoise or teal, and black. The large flowers are shiny lavender, salmon pink, and turquoise/teal. But they do add to the gleam.

Would it take a lot of work to remove the beads? I could try it on one flower.
