Wrecked Missoni
They are made of that expensive slippery Missoni rayon jersey and I don't know how, but it laddered like a pair of nylons. A great candidate for an extensive bout of underpatching with sashiko. I cut up a neon yellow t shirt from daughter's old summer camp to back the areas and attached it with pickstitch in three strands of pink floss. I wear them more now.
