The Embroidered Vest — A Summer I Remember

A wearable postcard from an Egyptian summer — evil eyes, hearts, stars, suns, crescent moons and watermelons embroidered across soft grey gabardine with sequin accents, and every edge finished by hand in blanket stitch.

Grey gabardine is the right base for this kind of work — it holds the embroidery flat without distortion and lets the sequins catch light without competing with the fabric itself. The grey reads as a neutral, which means the colour in each motif does the work rather than fighting a background colour.

Wear it open over a white shirt, a slip dress, or a plain top. The embroidery is the outfit — everything else stays simple.
