Sourced from plain striped silk set into the pleated skirt of an 1857–60 American evening dress at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the design isolates one section of that textile as an 8-inch repeat — bringing the movement and fine grain of the original silk to fabric and wallpaper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom:0.6em;\"\u003eOne deep forest green at two depths, alternating an inch at a time.
