A sleeveless bustier top in sheer black silk organza, cut close to the body and finishing above the hip. It is unlined on purpose: the darts, seams and embroidery stay visible through the fabric, so the construction itself becomes part of the design. The transparency is intentional, and breast covers or a styling layer are worth planning for.
Ksenia developed the pattern herself and shapes the fit with darts rather than boning, so the top is soft, not corseted. She embroiders sequins and beads by hand along the bustier lines, framing the shape against the organza.
The top fastens with a zip in the centre-back seam. The fabric is 100% silk organza, and the piece is made to order; measurements and production time are agreed after purchase, while the design itself stays as shown. Careful specialist dry cleaning only.

Ksenia Semirova makes hummingbirds from silk and sequins, and wedding veils embroidered straight onto the finished cloth. She works with a tambour hook in Hove, and she will either make you a piece or teach you to make your own.
