This reworked upcycled denim jacket is made from a reclaimed jacket and a mix of cotton fabrics from other garments unable to be rescued. This is a black/grey light wash, mid weight stretch denim. I have added flared cuffs with a decorative ribbon trim to the sleeves, a lace up back and a lined skirt. This jacket would best fit a 10-12 AU.

MATERIALS AND EMBELLISHMENTS
The majority of materials used to create my items are upcycled, refashioned or reworked from my collection of preloved garments, unique textiles, vintage linens and found treasures. Used in this item are:
-Denim jacket - AU Medium
-Black broderie anglais embroidered cotton
-Black plain cotton
-Black satin ribbon
-Black taffeta 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 fabrics
