Martina: layering vest

Martina. Somehow, this vest is both structured and deconstructed at the same time. It's scrappy and frayed, with a particularly lovely bird-like feathery chest panel. It's got a choppy hem. But it also has an elastic side panel that gives the waist some shape, plus tucks and pleats on the back. Oh! And funky square armholes. Made from striped linen, cotton and sections of Swiss Dot. Hand dyed in mottled muted purple.
