Handmade from two vintage fabrics; a floral printed cotton, and a pink pleated frill applied to the neckline. Limited edition- only 10 copies will be created of this style.

The Penelope Red Venus Floral Bolero was inspired by two of my favourite things- "The Birth of Venus", a painting by Botticelli and Jane Austen books and movies. To read more about this, look here:

I love adding extra touches to each of my designs! Some of these include:

- made from two gorgeous vintage fabrics. Main fabric is a screen-printed cotton.

- the pink pleated frill is the second vintage fabric. Applied around the neckline.

- fully lined with a silky polyester lining.

- blanket stitch detail around the hem and sleeves in pink.

- centre front fastens edge to edge with little hooks and eyes.

-the jacket is designed to be a loose fit.

- Sleeves are 3/4 length.
