This reworked upcycled striped jacket is made from a reclaimed jacket and a mix of fabrics from other garments unable to be rescued. This is a black and grey polyester blend jacket. It has a lining, subtle shoulder pads and a notch cut lapel. I have added a ruffle cuff to the sleeves with a velvet trim, and a matching peplum. The back laces up with a taffeta ribbon. The peplum is asymmetric.
This jacket would best fit a 10-12 AU.

MATERIALS AND EMBELLISHMENTS

-Taffeta lacing ribbon
Due to the different settings and fidelity in computer monitors and devices, the fabric and colour tones may appear slightly different in person. I do my best to photograph the items as accurately as possible. However variations in time of day, daylight, shade etc. can also affect this.
Unfortunately, shipping can incur some wrinkling in the fabrics, and as this garment is made from a variety of mediums it will require care when washing, drying or ironing (pressing).
CARE INSTRUCTIONS Each fabric piece can respond differently to heat so:
- when washing, cold water and hand washing is recommended
- when drying, natural air dry is preferable over tumble drying as some fabrics may shrink
- when ironing, set the iron to a warm rather than hot setting and iron from the reverse side or with a piece of cotton over any delicate fabric
