Heart sailor dress

Sailor dress from the "Heart" collection This dress was found at a thrift store, washed, and ironed. The heart was cut from a scrap of red jersey and sewn by hand. For good resistance over time, the heart is then attached to the dress with a succession of running stitches. This technique is inspired by Japanese Boro sewing. Each stitch is hand-sewn with red cotton thread. Size M / 100% cotton / Unique piece. Machine wash at 30°C Sizes XS to M Boro is a traditional Japanese repair technique that involves using scraps of fabric to patch and reinforce damaged clothing, rather than throwing it away and buying new ones. This technique was particularly common among the working classes in Japan during the Edo period (1603-1868) and during the war period, when clothing was scarce and valuable. Technique: Boro involves layering and sewing patches of worn fabric with simple, visible stitches. The method typically uses thick threads and deliberately contrasts between the original fabric and the added patches, highlighting the repair process.
