This tunic is made from a piano shawl from the 1920s-1940s. By the 1930s, "piano shawl" referred to embroidered lightweight silk shawls with fringe. While they took their name from the original piano covering shawls of the Victorian era, the newer shawls were worn as clothing, influenced both by Spanish and Chinese fashions and motifs. Hand-mending throughout.
