7 x 7 / 14 X 14 / 14 Tall Pagoda Shell White Stretched Charmeuse with Silver Soutache

They're expensive yes and for good reason, the skill to hand sew a pagoda is a true testament of a skilled seamstress.  To stretch and sew to the curvacios wire frame without snagging, to deliver a perfectly smooth shade, then to, by hand, create a small 1/8 narrow bias soutache and skillfully place it under another layer of 1/2 trim is a work of art.  These two beautful shades are something illume is most proud of...   If we sold them for less, the quality wouldn't be as good because these take time and skill.
