I hit most of my favorite notes on this one: a piece that seems to be from another time but not any period we can pinpoint. Maybe it was made from a few pieces of worn work clothes. Maybe it was unearthed in a cavernous long-empty barn with slivers of sunlight poring through gaps in the aged wood. A combination of curves and boxiness, refined finished seams contrasting with raw. And then: one odd striped tip that matches the collar trim. Lots of hints; few facts.Linen jacket that I made by assembling sort-of-random curved linen panels together, plus a bunch of draping and sculpting. After I made it I garment-dyed this jacket in mottled teal. It was made from a few different colors of linen before I dyed it, so the shades vary. Shown alone and also over the understayed dress. rough size: Extra Large / 1X / 2X actual measurements: uhhhhhhh. Okay it's kind of free-sized? The sleeves are so boxy that there's not a clear bust measurement. Around the bottom waist hem it measures 60 inches. Let's say the bust is about the same. The length down the center back is 23. The sleeves are about 20 inches, above the wrists. for comparison — the dress form measurements are: bust 40 inches, waist 31, hips 41 - Size 14 fabric: cotton and lycra jersey care: it's pre-washed and shrunk.
