Measurements are taken across the front of the garment while laid flat. Double to find total circumference of garment and if in doubt measure a garment you own that fits well and compare. If you’ve never measured a garment or yourself before, we have a guide under “Whats my size?” above.
Please note photos one, two & three in this listing are to represent the fabric you will receive. Additional photos after three are for size examples only and do not represent the piece you will receive. Fabric pattern placement will vary and may no be the exact one photographed.
As long time fabric and vintage obsessives Chris and Kell decided to collaborate on a range of tops made from vintage fabrics, each fabric sourced by Kell or pulled from her collection of vintage pieces. We have used our most popular two styles Trixie and Lulu for these special pieces. Chris hand cut all the styles carefully choosing pattern placement and the combination of fabrics for each piece and our local makers made them into these gorgeous tops for your to wear!
Each piece is made from vintage cotton, linen, rayon and cotton blend fabrics which are dead stock (never used) or washed and gently used in a past life. Each piece is hand cut and unique and will not be repeated.
See individual listing under "Fabric" for composition and weight details.
We love our Trixie shirt as she is a classic shirt shape is perfect for work outfits or day to day wear. She is always a firm favourite and is the shirt version of our ever-popular Trixie dress.
FEATURES:
- 50's inspired shirt shape with small tucks at the shoulder and back
- Fit similar to our Trixie dress bodice, with extra bust room
- She has a lovely pointed collar
- Side splits for ease at the hips
- Back yoke with small pleats for room at the shoulders
- Shorter length cap sleeve that can be worn folded up or down
- Button front closure
- Hidden underarm insert to hide your bra at the side
- Sleeve can be folded back or left down for more length
- Beautiful hand picked vintage fabric
HOW TO WEAR:
- Pair Trixie with any of our wonderful skirts such as Gillian, the length tucks well but also isn't so long you can't wear her with pants and longer length skirts too as she is.
- Trixie is a generous fit with lots of beautiful flow through the fabric, so she pairs perfectly with pants for work.
Designed and made in Sydney by our wonderful makers who we have worked one on one with for many years.
