Theatrette is inspired by Marie Antoinette and products are musings on what she might have worn had she lived in a more modern era. In the modern romantic style, we make items with carefully chosen materials.

This sequin & bead embroidery was inspired by the assorted flowers embroidered onto Marie Antoinette's 18th century "Ear of Corn" furniture. I chose my favourite flowers, which were actually more from the borders, drew and re-positioned them for the sash, then re-created it with beads and sequins, using a palette of my favourite colours - silvers & golds with accents of black.

The sequins & beads are hand-sewn onto thick Japan-made gold cloth, and backed by thick red velvety cloth. To wear the belt, simply tie it together with the French-Manufactured gold and ivory organza ribbons.

The gold material is slightly thick, so remember to position the sash so that it wraps nicely around your waist and without bulges (you probably need a friend to help you tie the ribbons while you hold the sash firmly in place), and rest assured that the four ribbons once it is tied together is firm support.

The length of the sash (excluding the organza ribbons) is approximately 26inch. It can fit a range of waist sizes as it is simply tied on with ribbons.
