Description

this shirt is a badass.

avant free form pintuck sculpture. messy raw edges. weird free form collar. this shirt is gonna fray a bit, but it’s gonna be cool. my thing right now, i want everything to sort of fall apart as you wear and use it. i mean, i want it to do sort of an organic deterioration as you have a relationship with it.

Ledthread = you can see that it was not made by robots. it was made by me. my messy sewing is like my drawing or handwriting. i love looking at it. i hope you do to.

obviously, this shirt is one of a kind, but i can do similar in other sizes and colors. holler at me. i need your bust measurement (not your bra size, get out your measuring tape and measure around your boobs.)

this particular one is:

bust 33"
hip 37"
shoulder to hem 27"
sleeve 17"

ps. no more of this particular fabric, but i have the same in hot pink, and this yellow but less drapey in another silk.

Material Notes

4 ply saffron silk

    I actually really like the colour. You’ve done such a great job, I love the way the material falls. The design doesn’t look like its trying too hard, you’ve integrated the petal theme so well without making the shirt look dowdy. I’d buy that anyday!

    Your freeform sewing or detail is awesome. Color is hot.
