I know everyone is dying to get their hands on thrifted Polo Ralph Lauren shirts and I get it, their prints are very cute. However, from a strictly fabric content standpoint, Banana Republic is my absolute favorite shirt to work with. The cotton is thick and sturdy but not hot, it's still very breathable. The fabric lays flat looks gorgeous and needs very little ironing.
All my products are second hand thrifted Men's Dress Shirts. There will be imperfections and wear as they are all used but in good to great condition. I completely clean and disinfect every item before I start sewing. I deconstruct every shirt and reconstruct it by hand strategically to fit a woman's body. There are raw edges on the collar (and sometimes sleeves) so threads are normal and seams are imperfect as I am not a professional seamstress. Every piece is chosen and sewn with a ton of love and every piece is 100% one of a kind.
