Reworked Brown Linen Blouse — Floral Folk Appliqué, UK 12

100% Linen, Long sleeved false buttoned v-neck blouse. Re-imagined with a hand stitched warm orange/ warm coral applique design. Symmetrical motifs on the front bust while also featuring a larger design on the central back. Designed, cut and carefully stitched by hand. 

Unfortunately this garments past life has left some notable marks. It seems rather than being well worn it has been stored poorly and damaged by sunlight. the most significant being a darker line across the front, from folding as well as a lighter patch on one cuff. There are also lines from storage throughout. I have tried to picture these as accurately as possible and these flaws have also been reflected in the price. It took more hours than I'm charging, as I would really love this garment to find a new home and be worn and cherished. It takes a special kind of someone to give love to something that others may overlook but it is my mission to give new life to unloved items and find those with like minded ideas. 

This is a reworked garment. Due to the preloved nature of these reworks, there may be minor signs of wear, imperfections, or areas of discoloration. I do my upmost to photograph the pieces as accurately as possible and not any major flaws above. Please also check the measurements thoroughly before purchasing.
