This jacket's design is a testament to the art of handwork at its finest. It has been adorned by skilled artisans with a symphony of silver tube beads create a bright blue  and green peacock leave design and accented with a pink leaf on a bed of hundreds of black sequins meticulously integrated into the deep black silk chiffon. The harmonious blend of these elements creates a striking contrast, offering a sophisticated shimmer that captures the eye with subtlety and refinement.

Designed with a seamless fusion of style and comfort, this jacket boasts an open front that gracefully drapes over your ensemble. It is secured by a discreet hook-and-eye closure at the neck, ensuring a snug fit. The high, understated collar and the absence of shoulder padding create a softly tailored silhouette that complements your figure. The long, straight-cut sleeves and the gentle flare towards the hem radiate timeless grace.

Beyond its visual appeal, the jacket possesses a subtle allure thanks to the semi-transparent nature of the silk chiffon beneath the sequins and beads. This touch of translucency adds to its overall charm, making it universally flattering for a variety of occasions.

It is also very helpful if you are aware of your own particular dimensions. If you're not sure, you may easily approximate them by measuring an item of clothes from your own wardrobe that fits well and is laid flat.
