This project uses the strategy of upcycling old business shirts as well as remnants from deconstructed shirts sourced from home. The cropped shirt uses large pattern pieces to create an oversized garment. I decided to create this look as I had sleeves that where from a large mens shirt, so I based my pattern blocks for the bodice from the sleeve, which created a loose casual fit. In terms of sustainability, the idea that garments like the business shirt are discarded or have lost their value even though they might still be in good condition can once again become a high quality garment, where this project showcase this notion through the strategy of upcycling and finding ways to including textile waste within the design.
