'A fig is most commonly teardrop-shaped, featuring a round, bulbous bottom that gently tapers toward a narrower neck at the stem.'
The Fig style features a small band above the bust, creating a square neckline, in contrast to the tulip shape. This version uses rufflette tape at the bust, and the straps are adjustable with two rouleau ties. The dress is patched together using silk organza hand-dyed with tea, alkanet, black hollyhocks, and iron. Embroideries featuring flora and fauna motifs are patched across the dress.
