These black collar, wearable art epaulets are made from repurposed bra pads, a dress, and 2 tops.  The bra cups are covered in draped gray synthetic fabric. Pointy black leaves with iridescent sequins sparkle from in between the folds of the wing-like design. They are stitched to a woven collar made of black satin strips, that easily fits over your head. The cups fit small to large size shoulders. Signed label. 

A conversation starter, these whimsical epaulets, for goddesses embracing the wacky feminine, are artfully designed and handmade by Asheville artist Jennifer Dehner. They are upcycled epaulets, and except for the thread, are made with all used materials that have been cleaned, deconstructed, and repurposed, instead of ending up in the landfill.

Perfect for festivals, holiday parties, costume parades, or anytime you need a quick, and radical transformation into an elegant character of mystery. 

No returns.

Care:  

Iron collar on a LOW setting. DO NOT iron the sequin leaves. Lightly steam the epaulets to fluff.
