Cyanotype Multicolor Trench

Cyanotype Multicolor TrenchThis lightweight artwearable Trench Jacket combines two jackets into one, featuring a handcrafted Cyanotype backpatch from fern harvested in my own garden Cyanotype photography is a camera less technique that involves laying an object on textile or paper coated with a solution of iron salts before exposing it to UV light and washing with water to create stunning white and Prussian blue images. More lovely things to mention; The trench coat is lined 2

The blouse itself  is from the 1970's and  the cut of it is something  else

The motif on the body was lovingly Eco Printed with multiple layers of rose Leaves

Very soft & plushy (not scratchy)  — part of why I love vintage wool knits so much is because they are soft

The body is made from a beautiful lightweight grey vintage linen with a very lovely multi color cotton plaid border around the neckline (hues of slate grey

resulting in naturally layered patterns and delicate tonal variations unique to every garment

This dress design is an absolute One-of-a-Kind work of art & such a dream to wear

Back Shoulders Across: 16 inches

either way it's super cool

We used Rose &  Oak Leaves in our Eco Printing process for the champagne  colored fabric pieces you see in the photos which were then silkscreened with abstract Roses in an original drawing we hand drew ourselves

This sweetly simple cut are the best ones for wearing with everything  worn dressed up or down

First we Eco Printed it with Oak & Rose leaves

The back of the blouse portion of the dress is made with a heathered charcoal grey stretch jersey
