TY - CONF AB - <p>One aspect of sustainable fashion that I find fascinating is the challenge of making recycled fabrics appear anything but. Aesthetically, one would never guess that this elegant gown was once a dingy tablecloth. Thus, the title is ‘This Old Thing’.

However, I was able to discern that it was formerly a tablecloth based on its rectangular shape, linear seaming, and numerous stains.</p> AU - Lauren Brallier, Vincent Quevedo DA - 2015/11// IS - 1 VL - 72 PB - Iowa State University Digital Press PY - 2015 TI - This Old Thing T2 - International Textile and Apparel Association Annual Conference Proceedings UR - https://www.iastatedigitalpress.com/itaa/article/id/2494/ ER -
