Tonal black on black, so the vine only declares itself when the light catches the curve of a stem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe silk itself has a slub running through it, small irregularities in the thread that catch and hold a bead differently than a perfectly smooth weave would, which is part of why the embroidery reads as hand-guided rather than machine-neat. This one carries Adele Palmer's own name rather than JAG, the Melbourne denim label she founded on Chapel Street in 1972 and built into one of Australian fashion's genuine export successes, a rare local label that made it onto Steve McQueen and Bianca Jagger before it ever made it onto a department store rack. Structured shoulder pads hold the line at the top, the era's answer to a jacket that needed to be noticed from across a room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShe closes with heavy, pearlescent shell buttons, substantial enough to balance the weight of all that beadwork, and two flap pockets sit at the hip, embroidered to match rather than left plain. A single vent opens at the back hem for ease of movement, and the shoulders carry their own pads, giving the silhouette its structure independent of whoever is wearing her.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"caitiedid","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44179932840070,"sku":null,"price":235.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0657\/5960\/8966\/files\/DSC_3882.jpg?v=1784789640","url":"https:\/\/checkout.caitiedid.shop\/products\/night-garden-adele-palmer-silk-beaded-blazer","provider":"caitiedid","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
