Silk robe in Sky Blue

The colour of a window left open. This is a short silk robe in soft sky blue — pure silk satin, with a contrast ivory shawl collar that frames the face in cream, an ivory self-tie sash, and fine ivory piping at the cuffs. It falls just above the knee. The colour does most of the work. It's the blue of pool water in shade, of a cotton sheet drying on the line, of a sky that hasn't decided what kind of day it's going to be yet. Soft, open, full of air. The silk has weight in the hand and weightlessness on the skin — heavy enough to drape, light enough to wear over nothing. The sash is wide enough to bow properly. The shawl collar sits open at the throat or pulls soft against it. Wear it on the morning of something. Wear it on the morning of nothing. Wear it with bare feet on cool floors and the kettle just starting. Details
