A crisp blue‑and‑white gingham reworked cotton blouse, transformed from an original Crew Clothing Company men’s shirt and reimagined into a sculpted, feminine silhouette.
The piece keeps the integrity of the brand’s classic fabric while introducing soft structure and contemporary detailing.
The neckline has been reshaped into a high ruffled collar, echoed by gentle ruffles at the armholes for a light, lifted finish.
The front is cropped to a clean 17‑inch length, giving it a modern proportion that pairs beautifully with high‑waisted trousers, skirts, or denim. The back retains a slightly longer curved hemline with a centre pleat at the yoke for ease and movement.
Signature Crew elements remain — including the embroidered crossed‑oars motif and the discreet CREW branding — grounding the piece in its heritage while giving it a completely new identity.
Two original Crew Clothing Company buttons have been preserved and hand‑sewn to the interior side seam, offering a thoughtful, repair‑ready detail if ever needed.
Fresh, breathable, and one‑of‑a‑kind, this blouse offers an effortless fit best suited to UK size 12.

Reworked Cotton Blouse in Blue Gingham – Crew Clothing Men’s Shirt Reimagined –
At Mabel Green Studio, we believe in giving beautifully made pieces a considered second life. Each vintage, pre‑loved or reworked garment is chosen for its quality, craftsmanship and character — the kind of work that deserves to be preserved, not discarded.
Our philosophy ensures that garments and accessories which might otherwise be lost to time are treated with respect; we honour the materials, the makers and the stories they carry. Some pieces are carefully revived in their original form; others are thoughtfully redesigned and reimagined into contemporary silhouettes that allow the fabric to live on in a new way.
Only items that meet our standards for condition, authenticity and longevity are selected for our curated collection.
Each piece reflects our commitment to slow fashion, responsible making and the understated beauty of extending a garment’s life with intention.
