Hand-dyed short-sleeved cotton linen blouse

This short-sleeved blouse is made from original textiles and is individually hand-dyed. Each piece is dyed like a work of art, with careful consideration given to its balance. Photos 1 and 2 show the front and back of the actual item. We strive to create an expression that is enjoyable to look at. The colors and patterns appear to be absorbed into the fabric, a unique expression that can only be achieved with dyes that soak directly into the fibers. We hope you will add this piece to your daily life, lifting your spirits when you wear it. About the Material: We use a cotton-linen blend fabric. Linen is said to be four times more absorbent than cotton. It quickly absorbs moisture and sweat, leaving a dry and comfortable feel. It quickly evaporates absorbed moisture, preventing the growth of mold and bacteria and suppressing unpleasant odors. It also has the property of becoming stronger when wet, so washing, which can be a challenge for the fabric, can be done without hesitation. It's said that blending linen with other materials can enhance each other's strengths and complement each other's weaknesses. The characteristic prickly texture of linen is softened by blending it with cotton, resulting in a soft, comfortable texture that feels great against the skin. This is the best of linen and cotton! About the Pattern The cut is simple and relaxed, and the waist can be worn tucked in or out. We made several prototypes, aiming for a silhouette that would be easy to wear for many years, and had the garment made using an original pattern. This item is dyed after sewing at a factory. The sides are not too open, but do not restrict arm movement. We added buttons on the back to prevent the chest from being too exposed. About the Dyeing We use dyes that are highly fast (resistant to sunlight and washing), so you can enjoy the vibrant colors for a long time. Our dyeing methods have been tested by a dye fastness testing institute, and have passed all tests for washing, sweat, friction, light resistance, and dry cleaning without any problems. The dyeing process involves multiple washes, so you can enjoy the washed-out texture when you receive it. We hope you will appreciate this characteristic of hand-dyed, handmade products. This blouse has been carefully crafted to be a long-lasting favorite and can be worn for years to come.

Please use them as a reference for specifications and sizing. ■Since most items are one-of-a-kind, when we restock the same pattern, we replace the photo and list it as a new listing. Therefore, if an item sells out, you will not be notified of restocks, even if you have favorited it. If you would like to follow us, you will be more likely to notice when we list a new item. ■For the first wash only, we recommend washing separately from whites to be on the safe side. ■Use a mild detergent and wash inside out. You can machine wash in a laundry bag, but we recommend hand washing to prolong the life of the fabric. ■Please refrain from using bleach. ■Please iron at the appropriate temperature for cotton and linen. ■The material does not have the smooth, wrinkle-free feel of a brand new, starched item. The dyeing process involves multiple washes, giving the item a pre-washed, textured appearance. ■Prolonged exposure to UV rays may cause fading. Please store the item out of direct sunlight. ■We take great care in photographing our products to accurately represent their true colors, but please note that appearances may vary depending on your monitor and lighting conditions. ■We recommend shipping by courier. While other methods offer tracking, they are not insured. Please keep this in mind when selecting your shipping method. ■Please be sure to ask any questions before placing your order.
