Cross-Stitch Linen & Paisley Shirt – Upcycled Vintage Fabric
Two fabrics. One story. Entirely yours.
This one-of-a-kind button-front shirt from Fabric & Soul is a masterclass in textile storytelling. The front is crafted from preserved vintage white linen, alive with hand-embroidered cross-stitch in soft rose, sage green, and lavender — roses, geometric borders, and delicate drawn thread lacework that took someone hours of love to create. The sleeves continue in coordinating white linen with intricate cutwork detailing. Turn it around and the magic shifts — the back is a bold 100% cotton vintage paisley print in rich pink, red, and taupe, edged with a pink picot trim that ties the whole piece together.
Front and back tell different stories. Together, they’re unforgettable.
