It is painted on silk crepe de chine in lime green, black, lemon, pinks and turquoise – with the screenprinted images in slate grey. There are some creases/folds in the shoulder seam which dont notice in wear becasue pf the fall of the garment with its dropped shoulder and unstructured look and this is reflected in the price whcih would have been £395.00
Headscarf is seperate.

Carole Waller art to wear:
Each garment and scarf by Carole Waller is unique. They are handpainted and screenprinted by me at my studio just outside Bath. I use my fabrics as unprimed ‘canvases’ and the paintings evolve as I work so no two pieces are the same. I welcome visitors anytime, by appointment. The studio and small showroom is at our home 4 miles east of Bath on the A4, with good parking and a warm welcome. Waller and Wood also shows beautiful stoneware ceramics by Gary Wood.
The code for this piece is C41
