Understated and exquisite, this cropped top was reconstructed from a vintage white rice linen tablecloth featuring tonal white-on-white hand embroidery. The needlework is delicate and intentional — small floral sprigs clustered at the gathered neckline, with horizontal drawn-thread lacework bands running across the body that catch the light with a quiet, luminous texture.
The silhouette is relaxed and generous: a wide scoop neck with soft centre gathering, short flutter-style sleeves, and a cropped boxy body that falls just above the waist. The fabric is a fine, semi-sheer rice linen — lightweight, breathable, and beautifully draping.
Construction & Restoration Notes: Reconstructed from a vintage white rice linen tablecloth. Original hand embroidery and drawn-thread lacework bands preserved throughout. Fabric is a fine white linen with characteristic vintage softness and slight sheerness.
Fit & Style: Cropped top. Wide scoop neck with centre gather, short sleeves. Relaxed, boxy fit. Pairs beautifully with high-waisted jeans, shorts, or a linen skirt. One size.
One of a kind. Once it's gone, it's gone.
