The morning before the Aldwyn-Cresswell wedding, master tailor Emilio Marchetti discovered that the silk brocade sash — a one-of-a-kind piece commissioned eight months ago to match the groom's waistcoat, cut from a bolt of discontinued Lyonnaise silk — had been sliced clean through at the seam and was unwearable. The sash cannot be replaced in time. Someone in the shop last night ruined it deliberately.
Subject
The Aldwyn-Cresswell Wedding Sash
A hand-stitched ivory silk brocade sash, 140 cm long, commissioned for the Aldwyn-Cresswell wedding at a cost of £1,400. Cut through with tailoring shears at the blind seam, rendering it unrepairable within the 18-hour window before the ceremony.
The suspects
- Flora Cresswell — Bride's younger sister and unofficial wedding coordinator
- Renata Voss — Rival tailor, owner of Voss Formalwear two streets away
- Dario Marchetti — Emilio's nephew, junior cutter and shop apprentice
- Phoebe Aldwyn — Groom's mother, primary client for the commission
