lady jack
|

Lady pirates were fierce and adventurous women who took to the high seas in search of treasure and adventure. Captains like Anne Bonny and Mary Read were known for their bravery, cunning, and boldness, and were often just as feared and respected as their male counterparts. They sailed the seas in search of riches and fame while their ships were manned by loyal crew members. They were true swashbucklers, living by their own rules and defying societal norms.
"Lady Jack" embodies that same spirit of adventure and defiance. The deep plum-and-black pairing evokes a sense of exoticism, mystery, and danger, while the dots add a playful touch that suggests the idea of breaking free from convention. Lady Jack exudes a sense of daring and fearlessness, just like the lady pirates who sailed the high seas.

In Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet," the titular characters’ relationship is one of deep passion and all-consuming love, and they express their feelings through poetry and song. Despite the bitter feud between their families, these two young lovers are so drawn to each other that they are willing to defy their parents and society, risking everything - even their lives - to be together. Their relationship may be a tragic one, but it is also a powerful and moving lesson that love transcends all boundaries.
Similarly, this deep scarlet-and-onyx black dotted silk taffeta embodies the same sense of passion and all-consuming love. The scarlet in particular evokes a sense of desire and intensity matched by few other red taffetas. Indeed, this is a fabric that radiates a deep sense of romance, just like the timeless relationship of Juliet Capulet and Romeo Montague.
This silk is adorned with tiny textured microdots that measure 0.5mm, which are pleasing to the eye without being distracting.

This bright green aqua-and-white pairing is named after the lovely stone used bu the Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians to make seals, signets, jewelry, and other ornamental objects. The name comes from the literal Greek translation of "chrusos," meaning golden, and "prason," meaning leek, suggesting the vivid golden-leek color of the stone. Chrysoprase is also a cryptocrystalline, which means that it is composed of crystals so fine that they cannot be seen as distinct particles under normal magnification...which makes it an even more perfect candidate for a dotted taffeta! Indeed, this silk is adorned with tiny textured microdots that measure 0.5mm, which are pleasing to the eye without being distracting.
