Totally unique ruffle shirt made from a soft cotton reclaimed vintage candy stripe bedsheet adorned with embroidered signatures!

The question is what did Fleurie, Tim, Gwyn, Elizabeth, Joane, Jerry, Toni and others have in common - why did they all sign this sheet between the 1950s and the 1980s, some of them twice? My theory is they all stayed in a youth hostel in Wales - but I have basically made that up! Anyway I'm glad they did because the seemingly unused vintage cotton sheet - combined with a frilly vintage candy stripe pillowcase which I used for the sleeves and the hem - has made an amazing shirt that's a real talking point.

Finished off with found red vintage buttons, this one-of-a-kind shirt is an easy-fitting size S-M - please see measurements in the dropdown menu.

As ever, this unique piece was lovingly made by me entirely from not-new materials
