I wear this alot and the one that is all over embroidery, but can not wear anymore too thin. After a while these very old ones can not take the use anymore. It is a shame. silk is so fragile. I miss my original dress I had when I was 13. I think I sold it. was wonderful purple and all over gold with large buttons having beading. koochi style.
