Upcycled Clothing Given New Life with Large, Tactile Embroideries

Embroidery by Tessa Perlow

Tessa Perlow embroiders garments with bold flowers, turning ordinary tank tops and t-shirts into something spectacular. The up-cycled fashions are in keeping with the long tradition of cultures who adorn their clothing with decorative stitches. These pieces recall hints of beautiful Oaxaca dresses, but with a modern twist as blooms freely flow down and across the body.

You can buy Tessa’s handiwork in her Etsy shop. Follow her on Instagram for works in progress!
