This upcycled men’s 100% cotton shirt in light blue stripes is overlayed with a woven white floral filigree pattern. To highlight the intricate pattern of the shirt a light and breezy synthetic chiffon floral of pale blues, pinks, yellows and greens has been added.
The shirt measures 48″ around the bust, 19″ across the shoulders and is 29″ from shoulder at neck to front hem. Remember to add an inch or two to your bust measurement to permit ease of movement.
Liisa Carbone is a collage artist and designer living in Summerside PEI who loves to work with unconventional, upcycled, often disregarded materials.
As a lifelong collector of 'interesting objects' and the grateful recipient of jewellery and button collections from both sides of my family I felt it a shame to hide these wonderful items in a drawer or jewellery box. Combining broken jewellery, buttons, beads and other found objects on wire mesh I work to create images that spark the imagination, celebrate treasures of our inherited past and evoke unexpected connections.
I also create one-of-a-kind tops and dresses combining men’s shirts with thrifted fabric items. I firmly believe that life is too short to wear boring – or uncomfortable – clothes.
