This tank features an unfinished quilt TOP that was hand-pieced with an array of batik fabrics, saturated reds, and cotton fabric that was dyed with tea or coffee. It has been left unlined to keep it breezy and warmer weather appropriate. This quilt top came to me locally, from a woman who spent her lifetime here in Vermont piecing quilt tops, and upon passing they were left to her daughter who is not a quilter herself, but knew her mother would love to see her quilt tops finished or turned into something new. I feel so fortunate for the opportunity to reimagine her life's work, and turn it into wearable pieces that can be loved and worn for many years to come. This sleeveless top has a scoop neck on one side, and a slightly deeper scoop neck on the other - either neckline can be worn in the front. It is perfect to wear on its own or layered over a long sleeve as a vest in the cooler months.Please note that this listing is for the TANK ONLY, the matching skirt can be purchased through a separate listing.
As this piece is made from a vintage/antique quilt top that has lived a full life before becoming a piece of wearable art, it is possible it shows its age in the form of some discolorations and wear to some of the fabrics. These areas are viewed not as defects, but merely giving it character and a nod to it's past life. Please review the photos as returns are not accepted.
