[This piece is from Squamata Shop's newest themed collection, Baby metal ThreadZ.]

Floor length tunic dress with wide sleeves and a keyhole opening in the back tied with two black velvet ribbons. There is a single side split on the right side. Fabric is a heavy weight jacquard lamé, almost like tapestry; black woven with gleaming metallic gold in a royal pattern of long rolling leaves. It’s a visibly textured fabric that holds its shape, especially in the sleeves, highlighting the wearer’s shoulders. Thicker fabric but a loose fit means it’s seasonally versatile; let your crotch breath without freezing to death. Wear it like a kaftan or cinch it with a belt for an a-line or empire waist.
