A turquoise silk jacket features wide rectangular sleeves and an asymmetrical front opening that wraps across the chest. Embroidered pink, red, and white flowers with layered petals are scattered across the body, interspersed with butterflies and mythical birds. The underlying teal fabric displays a subtle woven floral pattern. Striking black borders, detailed with white and blue scrolling blossoms, frame the collar, side-closing wrap, and curved hem, providing a sharp contrast.
