Reworked floral frill blouse from a high‑quality J.Crew men’s shirt from the Autumn 2024 collection.
This blouse combines crisp cotton structure with a soft, pre‑washed finish and a subtle stretch that lends itself beautifully to sculptural gathering.
This one‑off Mabel Green Studio piece features a frill neckline, puff sleeves with elasticated cuffs, and a cropped silhouette with a gently dipped back hem.
The navy micro‑floral print feels fresh and contemporary, while the open, boxy shape and dropped shoulders create a relaxed, flexible fit across a range of sizes.
Two original engraved J.Crew spare buttons have been preserved and neatly sewn to the reattached care label at the interior side seam.
Styling
Pair with high‑waisted denim, linen trousers or a midi skirt for a soft, romantic look.
Layer under a crew-neck sweater, dungarees or a pinafore to let the frill neckline peek through, or wear with wide‑leg trousers for a modern, sculptural silhouette.
Suitable for UK sizes 14–18, depending on desired drape.

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.
