One-of-a-Kind Upcycled Teal V-Neck Sweater with Vintage Silk Paisley Sizes Medium — Large
This one started with a thrift store sweater and a vision. A wonderfully soft cotton/rayon/nylon Old Navy V-neck became the canvas — and then the magic happened.
Luxurious navy sueded silk insets fill the V-neckline, and a vintage men's silk paisley tie — bias cut and deliberately fringed — trims the neckline, waist band and cuffs with a detail so unexpected it stops people in their tracks. The original rolled edges at the hem and sleeves add just the right relaxed finish to balance all that elegance.
Teal and navy. Soft and structured. Vintage and completely new.
This is sustainable fashion at its most artful — and there will never be another one exactly like it.
Fiber Content: 75% Cotton 15% Rayon 12% Nylon Trim: all 100% silk
Care Recommendation: Technically machine washable, delicate cool, and light tumble dry, press touchup. However, with the silk embellishment, I would recommend gently handwash, perhaps a light tumble dry and steam touchup.
Size: Safely a Medium, and look closely at Finished Garment Measurements to determine if a Large could wear. "My bust is 39" and it fits me fine, though a bit a 'wiggling' to get it over my bust."Londa
