Inspired by the name of the rose, this dress speaks in quiet tones —
like a tale told at dusk, remembered not for its plot, but for its feeling.
From the bodice, three gathered ribbons descend like drifting strands of memory —
stitched at the center, then gently released, they echo the way stories twist, pause, and linger.
Freed from the pleats, they move with each step — sometimes visible, sometimes hidden,
as if playing a quiet game with the eye, inviting the imagination to follow.
The draping below continues the tale — one told in the soft folds of Folklore Rose,
a color drawn from the heart of an orange rose at dusk.
Woven from 30 Momme 6A-grade Mulberry silk — the kind spoken of in ateliers and whispered about in silk houses —
the fabric holds its shape like memory holds feeling: dense, fluid, and never ordinary.
Twisted with more silk threads than needed — a quiet excess felt at the fingertips —
it is not only luminous but resilient — a silk that resists time, friction, and forgetfulness.
As if this silk, already steeped in memory, needed more room to speak —
the cape continues the story in motion.
This vestment doesn’t follow the body — it follows thought.
Each movement, each shift of air, sets it adrift, carrying the mystery in folds that never settle.
The pintucks stitched near the neckline and along the front edges hold just enough structure to dissolve after,
pouring into freedom laced with fragments of folklore — like the trace of a tale told once and never spoken again.
