Chores ᐧ 33 囍

33 囍

I thought I was the lucky one, to have you
how lucky it is, that you feel the same too

Poem by Shaina Yang

That 33 囍 was a labor of love to fully restore to her newest self is evident down to every seam; the result in a stunning work of carefully complementary indigo fabrics against her soft yet vibrant blue inside and out, with her embroidery and Nicki Cherry charm worn splashed across her front. Inside, her uniquely symbolic name is embroidered in pure beading against a resonant backdrop, crowning her new life with the good fortune she was named for. 

Materials
Vintage chore coat (cotton or cotton blend), patchwork lining constructed from antique indigo-dyed cotton fabric scraps, cotton embroidery floss, blister pearl and silver charm, glass beads

Measurements
49” bust, 26” length (high point shoulder to hem)
Kaci (model) is 5'5" tall

Care
For coats — remove charm using silver clasp, then dry clean or hand wash cold with mild detergent and line dry, warm iron on reverse with a little steam. Interior button serves as extra support for the silver clasp, which can be reinforced or removed as needed. For charms — gently clean with mild soap, warm water, and a soft cloth. Avoid wetting charms for extended periods of time. If using silver polish, avoid pearl.
