Description

This loose fitting jacket with structured sleeves was made from a re-purposed damask table cloth found in a thrift store. I dyed the fabric a light sea green and used both the “right side” and “wrong side” of the cloth to block colors and add distinction. When dyed, parts of the cloth, signatures from its fomer life showed up, so I appliqued scraps of the damask over the marks. The unlined, French seams make the inside as “clean” as the outside. One covered button serves as the front closure. Welt pockets. V9307.
