Zebra Cotton Peasant Blouse

This deadstock cotton zebra print 'peasant blouse' with a shirring elasticated waist, and lace up front is based on historical undergarments often worn underneath corsets and dresses. The large sleeves (also with shirring elasticated wrists) are billowy, and the blouse generally should be a really comfortable and cool item to wear through the summer.

Each item is made-to-order and manufactured by Cat in Brighton.

Please note that the lead time is currently 4 weeks.

The waist is the only fitted part of these blouses, so pay attention to that measurement when finding your size, above anything else.
Keeping this brand as eco-friendly as possible is so important to what I am doing. Creating new beautiful clothes with waste fabrics is how I started but that is not all that goes into a garment. Here's some other things we do to run as sustainibly as possible:

Deadstock and remnant fabrics for the outer and lining of the garments, these are either surplus materials from other brands, found materials from charity shops, eBay etc, or my personal remnants from other projects.

Recycled plastic bottle ribbons to lace up the corsets

Recycled polyester thread to sew the garments

If any interfacing is used this is also made from recycled polyester.

Postage bags: I reuse all bags that come into house! This may mean that what is delivered to you comes in a reused bag, but what is inside is all shiny and new. Any new postage bags that come in are cardboard and are therefore totally recycleable. The same goes for the tissue paper that the clothes are wrapped in, it is either reused from something I've ordered, or is made from recycled materials.

Everything is sewn by Cat in the studio in Brighton.

Of course we are not perfect! I still buy new bias binding, eyelets (metal and therefore could me melted down to be reused one day) sometimes lining fabrics are new, etc. But we are doing the best we can, and I hope to keep the effects of this brand minimal on the environment in the long run!
100% lightweight linen

Can be washed as normal in your machine.

These have elastic in the waist

Brass eyelets

Tied at the front with cotton lace ribbon.

We sew all our garments with thread made from recycled plastic.

Please note since we make all our garments from deadstock materials, we will sometimes swap for something similar if the original sells out.
