Why it's worth it

Hand-stitched roses on a see-through body — the embroidery is the top.

The Edit

Sheer georgette body with a string halter closure meets dramatically ruched tulle sleeves — the volume is all in the arms, while the torso stays fitted and transparent. At center front, a hand-worked cross-stitch panel in red, black, and green thread is finished with crystal beads that catch light at close range. Made to order in India using traditional embroidery techniques, the construction reads as wearable textile art rather than a conventional going-out top.

Insider Tip

Because it's made to order, you can request the embroidery panel in a different colorway — worth noting at checkout.
