This upcycled inspirational jacket was created from a short sleeve, 100% cotton jacket in a deep khaki tone. The jacket has bronze metal zippers at the center front closure and the side pockets of the jacket. The waistband of the jacket and the hemline of the sleeves have wide, comfortable elastic for shaping and added detail. The collar of this jacket is unusual and has a gathered and flat ruffled effect.
The collar, hemline and center back of the jacket have been trimmed with an ecru cotton trim detailed with wooden buttons. A few of the wooden buttons have also been scattered on the inspirational image appliqued to the back of the jacket.
The appliqued image is printed on cotton canvas and has been further embellished with an organza florette and Swarovski crystals. A second florette has been attached to one side of the collar and accented with a metal key charm, Swarovski crystals, a piece of vintage lace and organza ribbon tails.
This jacket is a size small/medium and should be spot cleaned or dry clean only due to the nature of the collar embellishments and their hand application.
