“She wondered which wounds went deeper: the jagged wounds of reality or the profound invisible bruises of the imagination?”
― Vita Sackville-West
Inspired by our muse Vita Sackville-West this style has become a constant part of the by.agy brand; it's a design that creates an androgynous silhouette whilst still remaining slightly feminine.
Smock style. Bodice made in 100 year old embroidered tulle lace and silk chiffon skirt; embellished with Swarovski crystals. The long sleeve under top is made in stretch embroidery anglaise in taupe with rib at the neckline.

Caring for this garment
Important Care Instructions
This garment is a complete one-off and hand dyed/printed/painted. It will never be made exactly the same again and it needs to be treated with care.
Take care to not over-launder. Choose to spot clean or even just hang out in the breeze to refresh it.
If needed wash by hand in cool water with a very mild detergent. Do not leave to soak for too long. Wring out gently and hang to dry. Can be ironed with medium heat.
Although all dyes and prints have been heat sealed to stay on the fabric excessive washing will cause them to fade over time.
