What a fascinating pierrot-thing. It’s rather weird, isn’t it? And the lining is amazing!
Crazy beautiful! Check out the inside:
It’s like a scrapbook of fabrics!
The stripes match up so beautifully in the back! Very impressive!
If you have ever tried to match patterns up you can appreciate the labour and love that went into this. The pattern matching is visually magnificent!
Look at those beautiful buttons and such dainty pink stitching!
