A delectable single layer of delicate white cotton with seven chains plain and unadorned. This would be perfect as a touch of delicate lace to a wedding outfit, an alternative outfit for both sexes or just as a traditional neck ruff. This was inspired by the beauty of a ballet performance of Swan Lake and the enchanting writings of Black Swan. This is the twin piece to Odille in delicate white cotton plain and unadorned but with a simple beauty and elegance. This is approx 16".
My very latest piece is an feast of a neck piece comprising of a triple layered ruff made from pure blue crochet cotton, yellow crochet cotton and metallic effect gold thread. This was inspired partly from some wonderful interior scenes, 18th century paintings and a fabulous farrow and ball wallpaper consisting of gold bumblebees on a mid blue background.
Sometimes an outfit says nearly everything you want but is missing that special finishing touch. You can find a lavish decorated ruff but that is just a touch too strong and the subtle message you had is lost. That is where the Pompadour comes into its own. Made from pure blue cotton this fits snugly to your neck adding the finishing word to your outfit and making way for a sparkling evening.
