“Milkflower blooms where moonlight falls,
behind forgotten garden walls.”
Milkflower is ivory silk, old lace and trailing ribbons. Beneath its softness is a carefully structured corset, shaped to the body and finished with a gentle pointed hem.
SHELL
Soft ivory silk woven with a delicate, almost hidden floral pattern, giving the surface a subtle depth and antique character.
LINING
Crisp cotton, chosen for comfort against the skin while supporting the structure of the corset.
DETAILING
Scalloped vintage-inspired lace along the neckline.
STRUCTURE
Precise 11-panel construction reinforced with synthetic whalebone; shaped with a soft pointed hem to elongate the torso.
LACING
Softly bouncing milky ribbon through reinforced gold-tone grommets.
SIZE
This piece is most at home on bodies sized S.
FROM THE CITY ARCHIVES
The Moonlit Conservatory
Milkflowers only bloom after dusk.
Their petals are almost translucent, and their scent is said to make people remember things they had forgotten on purpose.
Nobody knows who first planted them in the Conservatory. By morning, the flowers disappear again, leaving only a few pale petals caught in the ivy.
The gardeners have never been able to cultivate them.
They say Milkflowers don't grow where they are planted.
They grow where they are missed.
