Rare Sea Broderie-anglaise Grey Wool Twill Skirt

A study in restraint and extraordinary detail. This rare SEA New York sample skirt is cut in a softly structured heather grey fabric with a clean, elongated silhouette. The simplicity is interrupted by an oversized tonal broderie anglaise-inspired medallion, combining intricate embroidery and open cutwork in a circular placement across the lower front.

The skirt falls to a long midi/maxi length with subtle shaping through the waist and hip, while a center-back zipper and deep back vent provide ease of movement. Finished with the original SEA New York label and original branded hangtag still attached.

Sample-sale provenance: Personally sourced from a SEA New York sample sale. As is common with samples, this piece does not include standard retail size or fabrication tags. Please refer to the provided measurements for fit.

Curator’s Note

It’s the tension that makes this piece: an almost austere grey skirt interrupted by an extraordinary circle of embroidery and openwork. Sourced directly from a SEA New York sample sale and retained with its original hangtag, it captures the craftsmanship and unexpected femininity that have become signatures of the label.
