Description
White scrollwork gives this black Scala silk blouse a crisp outline at the neckline and short sleeves. Larger motifs rise from the front hem, while the dark beaded surface catches the light more quietly. Small openings along the shaped hem are part of the design, so this is one to leave untucked.
Scala is an eveningwear label with a history of embellished dresses and separates, including beaded tops, jackets and shawls. That background comes through in the way the decoration is arranged here. The white borders frame the face and arms, while the larger motifs draw attention to the hem. It is more considered than a scattering of sparkle.
The silk provides a base for the hand-beaded surface, combining a soft fabric with a defined pattern. Short sleeves and a simple round neckline give the eye somewhere to rest between the different areas of beadwork. There is plenty of detail, but the black-and-white palette keeps your styling options open.
Eveningwear, off duty
We paired it with a cream mini skirt and cowboy boots, letting a little Western irreverence interrupt the eveningwear. For a different mood, try wide black trousers and white flats, or faded jeans with a red bag. A long ivory skirt and low heels would make an elegant dinner outfit without covering the shaped hem.
Skip a necklace and let the neckline do its work. Small earrings are enough, and a plain bag will give the beadwork some breathing room. The skirt and boots in the photographs are styling pieces; this listing is for the blouse only.
