AATP's Cheshire Cat Set

Context

In March of 2017 Baby The Stars Shine Bright released the series "Alice Wonder Car Chase" for their sister brand Alice And The Pirates. Its story is set inside a child's bedroom to which at night the toys come alive to race each other. The series debuts 5 dresses, a cutsew, and a skirt as well as several accessories and a tote bag.

Each set is designed around each character from the original storybook's cast, and Baby The Stars Shine Bright is no stranger to brand reimaginings of Alice In Wonderland. In this version, Cheshire Cat is a helicopter pilot.

Cheshire Cat's Parachute Shirt from Alice And The Pirates (2017) Cheshire Cat's Balloon Pants with Hip Bag from Alice And The Pirates (2017)

This is the black colorway for the parachute shirt and balloon pants

Most "parachute shirts" callback to Vivienne Westwood, after this shirt sold under her "SEX" label in the 70's. When you see rings, buckles, and clamp straps constructed on a shirt like this, it's because of Westwood. Thin and lightweight, so wear it an undershirt underneath. I treat it more like a jacket if anything.

Unlike the jacket the pants are constructed in 100% cotton herringbone and rests stiff over my legs. The bag pocket of the balloon pants can hold weighted items like phones and pens, but I wouldn't carry loose change in it because the open panel is only held closed with a single strap.
