DUPION SILK SHIRT

Made from vintage silks, sourced from around Australia. Boxy, with dropped shoulders, shoulder darts and split side seams, finished with a camp-style collar and 6 vintage mother of pearl buttons. All seams are French or bound, and buttonholes are handbound. Dupion and shantung silks are quite structured, but will soften and naturally crease after wash and wear. This style is a slightly oversized fit, but it can be made smaller if you desire. 

Jana (chest = 82cm) wears cobalt dupion and fuchsia shantung silk shirts, Antonia (chest = 93cm) wears jade dupion and black shantung silk shirts. Both wear size m (length = 63cm, width flat = 54cm, sleeve hem from neck = 48cm).

Made to order to fit your body

Please leave me a note during purchase with the size you normally wear (excellent) and/or chest and hip measurements (even better)
