**Description:****
 
 One of a kind and meticulously tailored, this handmade silk
floral dress from Bangkok-based atelier _Lily Liang_ captures the playful precision
of late 80s/early 90s Southeast Asian formalwear. A sculpted bodice is balanced 
by a flirty drop waist and kickpleat hemline, giving it the swing of a cocktail 
dress with the elegance of a gallery-opening look. The lightly puffed shoulders 
and pleated skirt lend subtle volume and shape, while the vibrant floral motif feels
both painterly and precise.

**Styling Suggestions:****
 
 Pair it with contrast-colored vintage pumps (as seen
on Glory), or lean modern with sleek black ankle boots and a statement bag. Works
beautifully layered under a cropped jacket or worn solo for maximum visual impact.

**Perfect For:****
 
 Art openings, editorial styling, fashion-forward daytime events,
or as a standout piece in a collector’s wardrobe. A great option for stylists or
clients who favor bespoke pieces with global provenance.

**Provenance Notes:****
 
 Lily Liang was a known bespoke dressmaker in Bangkok 
whose atelier produced custom formalwear for locals and international clientele.
This piece comes directly from Bangkok and retains its original label with shop 
address and phone number.
