You are hosting, so you need to look finished and still move.
Mallard green silk trousers with an elastic waist.
The host is up and down all night: kitchen, table, door. Tailored trousers pinch by dessert, and a fitted dress limits what you can do. Wide silk trousers solve it.
Our Palazzo 1932 in mallard green is 100% mulberry silk with an elastic waist and a full wide leg. The print is Dragon of Grace, hand screen-printed: fine drawing across a deep green ground.
Standard size with the elastic waist, or made to measure for an extra 10% of the listed price, cut to your waist, hip and length.

Bodhi leaves and lotus, carried by dragons
Between the small dragons of Dragon of Grace sit bodhi leaves and lotus flowers. The bodhi is the tree under which the Buddha reached enlightenment. The lotus, Vietnam's national flower, stands for purity and for rising above hard circumstances.
The dragons hold these out as offerings, after the Lotus Sutra story in which a dragon's daughter gives her pearl to the Buddha. It is a picture of generosity.
For the person feeding everyone, it is a fitting thing to wear.

Why $289
Wide trousers in printed silk use far more cloth than a fitted pair, and every length of it is screen-printed by hand, one color and one pass at a time.
The pattern is matched across the legs before the pair is cut. Then it is sewn to order in our own Hanoi atelier and shipped to you with the import duty already paid. $289, and nothing more at the door.

Made to measure: add 3 to 5 business days of tailoring.
What if it does not fit?
Standard size: return it within 30 days, unworn and unwashed, in the original box. Change-of-mind return postage is yours, and store credit adds 15%.
Made to measure: outside the 30-day return, with one complimentary alteration included instead.
