the look

one-of-a-kind quilted dickey handmade from a reclaimed vintage patchwork quilt.

designed as a versatile layering piece, this dickey adds warmth, texture, and visual interest without the bulk of a full garment.

cut and sewn to sit flat across the chest with a softly structured neckline, it layers easily under coats, blazers, and sweaters, or can be worn over lightweight tops as a statement piece. finished with durable bound edges from salvaged denim for longevity and everyday wear, and waist ties so it can be worn as a vest.

it can be worn in 4 ways - with the snaps in the front, or the mockneck. it can also be reversed to the interior to really show off the hand-stiching.

we have made 5 of these dickeys from this circa 1940s scrap quilt we are calling 'the marlene quilt' - it is completely hand-stitched, with fabric including barkcloth and flour sack cloth. it had holes and stains throughout, and we are now repurposing.
