Fabric Description:  Light-medium weight silk,, minimally translucent, is a 1980s piece from a woman's everyday kimono; the fabric is a retro-print on off-white, mauve background on one side only with the motif of micro-sized (1/16th inch / 1.59mm) largest flowers, with swirling and meandering paths; This pattern has an illusory effect, in that -- depending on how one looks at it (very close or at varying distance perspectives) --  you can see larger-scale patterns that appear (to us) to be floral (Please see our closeups);designs on one side, no sheen, slight drape.

Colors: Please consider our text descriptions to complement your sense of the fabric, as colors and contrast differ on different devices.
