Description

Whispering of bygone eras and untold tales, these shirts are a symphony of light and shadow. Crafted from jet-black silk organza or a deep navy gazar, their diaphanous textures play with translucency, shifting between ghostly elegance and structured refinement.

Designed for versatility, each piece adapts to its wearer’s whims—worn with the collar open for a roguish allure or fastened for a stately, historical silhouette (except for the high-collared Victorian style, which demands its own regal poise). The cuffs, finished with delicate buttons, can be easily adjusted for an optimal fit.

Whether paired with corsetry, flowing skirts, or modern tailoring, these shirts are timeless—an echo of both the grand courts of history and the untamed spirit of the open sea. I can imagine them worn under a pair of stays for a teaparty, under a vest for a day of work, or even with just lingerie underneath, for a special night.

• The Revenant’s Veil & The Wayfarer’s Shadow (Black Silk Pirate Shirts – Two Variations)
  Sheer as a ghost’s whisper, yet cut from the past with historical precision, these shirts bridge the worlds of high-seas rogues, dashing equestrians, and elegantly defiant gentlemen of the 18th and early 19th centuries. Featuring subtle design variations that make each piece unique, they are crafted with traditional square gussets for movement and authenticity while the black silk organza lends an ethereal, gothic refinement. Worn under a vest, they become a bold statement even in modern attire—ideal for both the untamed and the urbane.Revenant’s Veil: Neck:40,5 , cuffs: 19,5cm   Wayfarer’s Shadow (back pleats): Neck: 40,5cm, cuffs: 20,5cm

• The Mourning Belle (1830s High-Collared Silk Organza Shirt)
  A vision of gothic romance, this shirt draws from the voluminous elegance of the 1830s. Its high collar frames the neck with aristocratic grace, while its billowing sleeves beg for the embrace of a corset. Crafted from jet-black silk organza, it is a garment of shadows and grandeur—an heirloom of a bygone century, reborn for those who walk between history and fantasy.Neck: 35cm, cuffs: 19,5cm

• The Stormcaller (Navy Gazar Shirt)
  Deep as the midnight sea and sculptural in its presence, this shirt tempers historical elegance with bold modernity. Less sheer than its silk organza counterparts, the navy gazar fabric creates striking contrasts in volume, making it a perfect companion to a cinched belt or corset. Whether donned for courtly intrigue or a tempestuous evening affair, it carries the commanding presence of a name whispered in reverence.Neck: 38cm, cuffs 19,5cm

Fit: Generous in size; minor adjustments (such as moving the neck and cuff buttons) may be required for a perfect fit.

Sustainability: Made from deadstock fabrics, reducing environmental impact—ethically sourced and entirely handmade by me in my Italian workshop.

To show how the shirts will look with corsetry, I have used some of my lasercut belts over a corset-shaped mannequin. If purchased with a lasercut belt kit (they are sold transparent and ready for you to paint and customize), you will receive 15% off the belt price (email me first at grimildemalatesta@gmail.com)
