{"product_id":"megan-ilene-hand-painted-silk-modal-bellows-skirt","title":"Hand-Painted Silk \u0026 Modal Bellows Skirt","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Bellows Skirt is a reimagining of our signature silhouette, now rendered in a fluid modal-nylon blend that prioritizes movement. Its name is derived from its unique construction: two full circle skirts joined at their hems to create a continuous, undulating volume. As you move, the fabric collapses and expands in a soft sine wave—a vertical pleating effect that is entirely organic to the design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of each skirt is a sheer silk organza \"window\" panel inset at the knee, acting as a window that lightens the visual weight of the black fabric. Each panel is laid flat in our studio and individually dry-brushed by hand using a near-dry applicator to \"scuff\" black textile paint across the surface. Unlike traditional dyeing, which saturates the fiber uniformly, this manual process ensures that every skirt carries its own unique patina—a subtle, dark-on-dark variation that catches the light differently with every step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAll joinery is finished with tonal, rolled serging. We’ve chosen to keep these seams exposed as a subtle nod to the garment’s architecture, highlighting the thoughtful engineering behind the drape. Features an easy, elastic waist for a ready, pull-on style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eProduct Highlights\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArchitectural Bellows Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Constructed from two full circle skirts joined at the hem to create dynamic \"balloon\" volume that expands and collapses as you walk.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHand-Painted Silk Organza Window:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sheer silk organza panel inset at the knee, dry-brushed individually by hand with black textile paint for a unique painterly patina.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExposed Tonal Joinery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Finished with exposed tonal rolled serging seams to accentuate the structural engineering and movement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFluid Modal-Nylon Fabric:\u003c\/strong\u003e Made from a modal-nylon blend that offers a soft, cool hand-feel with a subtle, elegant luster.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEthically Made-to-Order:\u003c\/strong\u003e Handcrafted in North Carolina by sewers receiving a living wage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eGarment Measurements \u0026amp; Fit\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne Size (O\/S) pull-on style with elastic waistband[cite: 94].
