Your child graduates, and you are in every photo.
A yellow silk batwing, with sleeves you will not think about.
Commencement is a long day outdoors and more pictures than you can count. You want color, room to move, and nothing that pulls when you hug.
Our 1940s batwing blouse is 100% mulberry silk, hand-printed with Dragon of Grace on yellow. The sleeve is cut in one with the body, so there is no armhole seam to pull when you reach or hug.
Three sizes cover US 4 to 14, and made to measure adds 10% to the listed price.

A dragon for their achievement, worn by you
In our designs, dragons mark achievements, and a graduation is exactly that.
Dragon of Grace is the Ly Dynasty dragon of Hanoi's imperial citadel, drawn small and repeated around a lotus pedestal, with bodhi leaves between. The bodhi leaf is the tree of the Buddha's enlightenment: wisdom, in a word.
Yellow sits close to the gold of the imperial glazed roof tiles of that era, the color of the palace itself.
Commencement day
Ceremony Tucked into white or navy trousers, with flat shoes for the lawn.
Lunch after Half-tucked into a denim skirt or jeans.
