Big Girls Blouse - Black Waratah Pin Stripe
An artwork you can wear for best-practice sustainable fashion. Every Big Girls Blouse shirt I make is a labour of love, that takes many hours to create.
Sourced at an op-shop by my friend Helen, who has a particularly good eye, this shirt has been re-loved and hand-printed. Now it’s a one-off gender-neutral shirt or over-shirt (some might even say, a shacket) that would suit a stylish human.
Black Waratah Pin Stripe is printed on a mid-grey slim-fit Industrie shirt in pure linen. The model is a size 14. The three colour Waratah stencil motif is one I made for my exhibition at The National Trust Everglades House in Leura, in the Blue Mountains in February 2026.
See SPECS below for this shirt’s measurements.
Specs
Stencil print on pre-loved shirt. Pre-washed and heat set ready to wear. There may be a small imperfect smudge or thumb print somewhere on this shirt. We all know by now that this is all part of the hand made process, so embrace it with pride.
