Made with Linen and Metis fabric from Vintage Hungarian Grain Sacks, dating from the 1930's and 40's. Each farmer had their own distinctive stripe on their sacks so they would recognise them at the market. The material is hand woven on narrow looms and is very thick and heavy. These original sacks are now getting very hard to find with material of this quality.
This is a true heirloom piece.
Here I have used pieces from a number of different sacks, with different stripes, to create my desired effect. Ecru base colours with red, white and blue stripes.
Shawl collar design with Patch Pockets, high side slits, and trimmed with a bright orange 100% cotton binding. Unlined.
Sizing is ONE SIZE fits most. Will fit UK size 10-16
I am 5ft 5.5" and UK size 10/12
Body length from neck seam to hem - 96cm

I would not recommend this size item if you are particularly petite.
