PIPER No. 003
Garden Pageant & Painter’s Mark.

The piper is not merely worn it’s composed. A symphonic garment in three movements: overskirt, cape, and strapless overdress. Designed to shift with you, your rhythm, your ritual, your reinvention. This metamorphic silhouette is part sculpture, part story.

Piper No. 003 is a celebration of storytelling through textile. Its surface alive with painterly detail and unexpected play. Made from a striking vintage Bassett McNab scenic print, this piece features a rococo garden tableau complete with lounging figures, fountains, flora, and flying creatures, all framed in deep black for graphic drama. The colors are vivid yet softly weathered, like frescoes kissed by sun and time.

The character-rich selvage edge, left intentionally visible and intact, nods to the piece’s origin and authenticity. A contrasting patch pocket in buttery goldenrod floral adds both utility and whimsy like a surreal painter’s swatch lifted from the scene itself.

This Piper delivers dimension whether worn as an overskirt, cape, or strapless overdress. The canvas-like weight of the textile provides a gentle sculptural hold, allowing the garment to gather with pageantry or drape with ease. It is a wearable mural, meant to be read, moved in, and remembered.

Piper is made to complement a broad range of body shapes and sizes (US 2–14). Perfectly styled over a slip dress, jeans, or even worn as a cape - just flip and tie.

Fully reversible and designed to be worn three ways:
• An overskirt, adding sculptural texture to any base layer
• A cape, cascading like a cloak of memory
• A strapless overdress, bold and self-contained, layered or bare

The structured textiles offer dimensional volume when gathered, or an elegant, architectural drape when worn loosely. Adjustable grosgrain ribbons allow each wearer to tailor the fit. Tied into soft bows, left trailing, or trimmed and reimagined as an accessory; worn as a choker or wrist ribbon. A raw-edged hem preserves the integrity of the materials while lending refined ease to the silhouette.

Piper is a living composition of rescued textiles. A wearable narrative designed to be seen, styled, and passed down. Luxurious remnants originally created for high-end interior design and couture fashion houses. These include richly woven jacquards, baroque brocades, antique velvets, tribal embroideries, and metallic-threaded panels. Many of these materials are no longer in production, making each composition truly rare and unreproducible. They are chosen not only for their beauty and durability but also for their cultural depth and tactile richness.

Each piece is finished with a 14K Gold or Sterling Silver 925 tag and our signature eco-kind woven label for authenticity. Customize your fit with the adjustable grosgrain ribbons (trim to fit), and enjoy the luxury of a velvet hanger and garment bag to store and protect your one-of-a-kind creation.
