This unused 70s 'Field Flowers' linen tea towel jumped out at me from the window of a charity shop. The medicinal, bee- bird- and butterfly-friendly dandelion seems to be having a moment and makes the perfect the star of the show on this shirt (along with another favourite - the daisy, which I've positioned on the collar). 

Also in the mix is a classic brown St Michael 70s linen tea towel and some beautiful vintage linen hand-embroidered tablecloths. 

As the whole shirt is linen, a natural fabric known for keeping you cool in the summer and warm in the winter, it also has a really nice weight and feel.

Finished off with found shell buttons, this one-off garment was lovingly made by me entirely from not new materials.

Roughly a size S-M (UK12ish) - please see the measurements in the dropdown menu.
