'daisies and polka dots' vintage silks distressed blouse
From the "Weightless Wonders" collection, featuring totally reworked antique and vintage scarves and graphic silk panels, this tunic/blouse is perfectly whimsical and utterly comfortable and breathable, lightweight yet not weightless, with a great drape and soft to the touch. It has been made out of four vintage scarves, combined perfectly to play on the classic patterns of flowers, polka dots and paisley (which is very subtle compared to the centerstage dots). Made with a roomy design, it will fit a range of sizes and can be tucked in or belted for a shorter look - or if you would prefer, it can be permanently fitted and shortened upon request. A great modern piece on a classic theme you will enjoy, for travel as well. The artist was able to preserve the name of the designer on one of the scarf panels (Adrienne Vittadini) - have fun looking for it! Product code: L9856

Very brief cold water hand wash, a few drops of mild detergent, always separately, spin in washer and dry on medium, or air dry and finish in dryer to soften. Also can be dry cleaned by mild methods, or dry cleaned in dryer at home with a store-bought kit. Do not use stain removers, spot treaters or bleach pens. Contact us for any advice, if needed.
All garments arrive to you freshly cleaned, unlike regular store-bought items, and are ready to wear.
Dry-cleaning is ok on most items but only if gentle methods are used and the cleaners are familiar with cleaning hand-painted delicate fabrics.
To freshen up any item that doesn’t need deep cleaning simply mist it with a water spray and put in the dryer on medium heat for about 15 min.
All garments can be hand washed. Wash each item separately, cold water only, minimal amount of detergent, and as briefly as possible, no soaking. The wash can be followed by a spin in the washer and dried on medium heat until dry. Knits should be hung-dried and when dry, finished in the dryer for a few minutes to soften.
Hand-pressing may be necessary after the wash and dry to straighten out the seams and edges which tend to pucker or curl on natural fabrics.
Some hand-dyed items may leak a bit of color during the washing, that is normal and will not affect the item. Using liquid softener during the wash will minimize any color leaking.
For more tips and details please refer to the cleaning instructions card included with your package.
