I too am a Shibori lover. Last summer I bought A374520 the AnyBody Shibori top and it's great. There is also a dress A374531 in the same print.

Love learning about textiles.

The making of shibori has become a treasured craft:

@1Professor That's it. My friend's sister is married to a Japanese guy and his mother has so many beautiful Shibori pieces.

@Biftu It is fabulous.

It must be amazing to see someone's collection of shibori.

I am quite committed to chasing down more.

Goes with my denim.

Love wearing textile craft. Wearing art.

Chased this linen top this morning from a Texas artisan who makes shibori. Totally reasonable price. I wanted something I could put on OVER something, light weight, but especially that I could wear under a blazer (teaching, lecturing). One-of-a-kind and one-size-fits, so I don't have to agonize over which size to get.

@1Professor Nice find.

Just grabbed this shibori jacket from Isaac! Wow.

A381486 now reduced from $73 to $39! Pockets!!

I shall now resume serious additional hunting.
@1Professor

And thanks to you, I just bought it, too! I just discovered I love shibori!
@willdob3 You scored (as did I).

Didn't mention it before but that neck line is fabulous! Stands up, framing the face. And bracelet sleeves, so I can work at the computer without having to push sleeves up or create a bulky roll.

I only have a few Isaac in clothes (some cashmere sweaters) but the Isaac line is well made.

So glad you found it.

May I mention, once again, POCKETS! Sigh.

Me TOO!
But, his sizing is always difficult for me.
Something to look forward to 🙂

@Drythe @1Professor

The fit on this is relaxed - loose - but the garment measurements seemed so big that I decided to size down. I hope that works. I got the indigo and it should be good for work and with jeans, too. I think it would be perfect for going out with friends if that is ever safe to do again.
