There were two reasons I wanted to rescue this shirt. First, it was my mother's when she and my father took their engagement photo 21 years ago.
Second, I really like the peplum-style frill at the bottom of the shirt.
Oh, did I mention it's 100% silk?
Now, for the upcycle. First I turned the shirt inside-out and unpicked the sleeves, being very careful not to rip the material.
