Sakura

Deep oxblood velvet, blossom-embroidered, cut with the calm of a folded fan.

The piece the chapter is named for. A high-collared column in deep oxblood velvet, its shoulders capped, its length embroidered with falling cherry blossom in silk thread. Worn against a wall of pink blossom, it is the stillest and most certain silhouette in the collection.
