This flattering silk has a thick and buttery feel with a dusky, matte finish. It features an elevated yet soft collar at the neckline, long sleeves and concealed side-seam pockets, allowing the subtle print to take centre stage. It fastens with a concealed zip at the centre back, and features a trailing, heritage grosgrain ribbon which flows behind when worn. The dress is finished with hand-felled hems and is French-seamed throughout. The garment features an exquisite placement print design, featuring Sabina’s original pencil rendering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eNotes on the monochrome print: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChinese Song Dynasty critics and theorists formulated a rhetoric regarding the superiority of ink monochrome to colourful painting. These arguments take on a moralistic tone, suggesting that colourful painting is intended to please the eye and increase the attractiveness of the work, making it thus meretricious; Ink monochrome reveals the inner structure of the subject depicted instead of only the outer appearance, and so forth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe aim of traditional Chinese animal painting was to capture not only the outer appearance of a subject but the inner essence as well – its energy, life force, and spirit. To accomplish this often meant to reject the use of colour, which would serve only as a distraction. This was often referred to as ‘white painting’, the most famous of which is arguably ‘Night Shining White’ by Han Gan (742-756).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Softest Song","offers":[{"title":"XS \/ Cinnabar\/Lacquer \/ Red","offer_id":48470599827697,"sku":"SS-SSG-052","price":990.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"S \/ Cinnabar\/Lacquer \/ Red","offer_id":48470599860465,"sku":"SS-SSG-053","price":990.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"M \/ Cinnabar\/Lacquer \/ Red","offer_id":48470599893233,"sku":"SS-SSG-054","price":990.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"L \/ Cinnabar\/Lacquer \/ Red","offer_id":48470599926001,"sku":"SS-SSG-055","price":990.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0577\/9344\/6038\/files\/ChasingthePearl_SilkDress_Front.jpg?v=1785840093","url":"https:\/\/sabinasavage.com\/products\/chasing-the-pearl-silk-marocain-dress","provider":"Sabina Savage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
