Made from a patchwork of carefully selected vintage table linen and including my favourite thing - part finished embroidery. I love to find a vintage linen tablecloth that's unfinished as it lends the design an abstract quality and also makes me think about why the stitcher gave up partway through. As ever, I laundered these fabrics before constructing the shirt and the transfers are still visible, although they may fade over time/with further laundering. I hope not though.

These are all particularly nice textured linens I’ve been excited to find and have been saving up til I had exactly the right combination. PSA linen is known for its cooling properties!

Roughly size S-M (a generous UK12-ish). Please see the measurements in the drop-down menu

As ever, this one-of-a-kind item was lovingly made by me entirely from not-new materials.
