This is an ethnic tunic with hand embroidery. The material composition is unknown, but it appears to be silk. I purchased it from the vintage clothing store DEPT, but I have only tried it on. It is a beautiful garment with delicate hand embroidery. There are small fabric damages and repair marks, but they are hardly noticeable. It has pockets on both sides. Since it is silk, you can stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Please purchase if you understand vintage clothing.
