The Shiki Dress. Plunging necklines, dramatic sleeves, and beautiful movement. This stunning gown is constructed with British organic peace silk, the ultimate in luxury fabrics. This chemical-free British-produced satin has the lowest possible carbon footprint; even the Mulberry leaves, which are the silkworms’ only food, are grown right here in England. Gathered poet sleeves end just above the wrist bones, and the finest of spaghetti straps lays across the nape of the neck and holds the deep V necklines in place. The half-circle skirt is cut smoothly from the waist and skims the hips softly, flattering all figures. ‘Shiki’ is Japanese for ‘ceremony’.
