Discharge Printed Black Vintage White Polka Dot High-Density Cotton Relaxed Fit Flattering Shirt

https://cbu01.alicdn.com/img/ibank/O1CN013uvQW71zMedL37Nlw_!!2214685846700-0-cib.jpg Developed for the cooler seasons, this polka dot fabric is crafted from a high-density weave, essential to withstand the intricate printing process. We utilize a discharge printing technique, known for its complexity and the unique, varied results it yields with each application. What is discharge printing? It begins by dyeing the fabric a deep black using specialized dyes, not ordinary ones, but those specifically formulated for this process. These imported dyes treat the base color of the fabric, rendering it uniformly black. Subsequently, a reducing agent is applied to remove the black dye, revealing the underlying white in a patterned design. This is achieved by first sketching the pattern and carving it into a stencil, ensuring the discharged white areas form the desired motif. Following this, the fabric undergoes color fixation and setting, then a relaxed wash and tumble dry to achieve its characteristic natural texture. Each of these steps is labor-intensive and requires specialized techniques, resulting in high costs and significant material loss. Crucially, the resulting aesthetic is exquisite. The color of the polka dots is paramount; pure white would appear too stark and lack a natural integration. Therefore, the dot color has been carefully adjusted to a softer, grayish-white, lending a vintage feel. The spacing of the dots is also deliberate, avoiding extremes of being too dense or too sparse, which could disrupt the visual harmony or diminish the dots' playful spirit. After meticulous consideration and repeated adjustments, the final appearance is both ethereal and effortlessly cool. This is not merely an artist's shirt, though it shares a relaxed cut. The polka dots are exceptionally beautiful. The silhouette is sharp, with a hint of clean, boyish grace, drawing inspiration from men's shirt tailoring. The fit is relaxed, sharp yet refined. The collar features a perfectly calibrated neckline, elegant and comfortable, never constricting. It can be fully buttoned for a poised, dignified look, or left open for a casual, everyday vibe. This row of buttons is charming. Each button is covered in the polka dot fabric, forming a heart shape. To fasten, gently guide half of the heart, the side of the button, into the buttonhole. Avoid trying to force the pointed tip of the heart first, as it won't fit. While there's a slight technique involved, you'll find it manageable and utterly worth it, as the heart-shaped buttons are a perfect match. The dropped-shoulder, long sleeves feature standard buttons for ease of fastening, even with one hand. The generous body, with its side patch pocket—notice its shape, almost like a little cup—provides a comfortable drape that flatters without clinging, artfully concealing any minor imperfections. This shirt, in today's styling landscape, offers remarkable versatility. For the transition from late summer to early autumn, it can be worn over a camisole or buttoned up as a standalone piece. As autumn deepens, it layers beautifully under various heavier outerwear, paired with any bottoms. Care Instructions: Hand wash or dry clean. Alternatively, wash inside out in a laundry bag on a gentle cycle. Due to the unique nature of discharge printing, occasional slight blurring is part of its artistic style. The pattern placement is random, ensuring each piece is unique, though all are equally beautiful. https://img.alicdn.com/imgextra/i4/51479120/O1CN01kBcagl2HF177v5oRF_!!51479120.jpg https://img.alicdn.com/imgextra/i2/51479120/O1CN016dTPxG2HF17682tY3_!!51479120.jpg https://cbu01.alicdn.com/img/ibank/O1CN01u9YQvg1zMedB5BLi7_!!2214685846700-0-cib.jpg https://cbu01.alicdn.com/img/ibank/O1CN01VQcDC71zMedJXqwxv_!!2214685846700-0-cib.jpg https://cbu01.alicdn.com/img/ibank/O1CN019KbwgO1zMedKI9Q0V_!!2214685846700-0-cib.jpg https://cbu01.alicdn.com/img/ibank/O1CN01O6Sehg1zMedHse0pY_!!2214685846700-0-cib.jpg https://cbu01.alicdn.com/img/ibank/O1CN01BcjZ7w1zMedGXpIiO_!!2214685846700-0-cib.jpg https://cbu01.alicdn.com/img/ibank/O1CN01RswSJa1zMedIQMIuE_!!2214685846700-0-cib.jpg https://cbu01.alicdn.com/img/ibank/O1CN01Uv7R8T1zMedHscKuj_!!2214685846700-0-cib.jpg https://cbu01.alicdn.com/img/ibank/O1CN01Spx7Kl1zMedHscbZV_!!2214685846700-0-cib.jpg https://cbu01.alicdn.com/img/ibank/O1CN01EqRtxH1zMedJ53VBA_!!2214685846700-0-cib.jpg https://cbu01.alicdn.com/img/ibank/O1CN01UgO4lm1zMedJXqkdk_!!2214685846700-0-cib.jpg https://cbu01.alicdn.com/img/ibank/O1CN01c2aWmr1zMedJXrYXL_!!2214685846700-0-cib.jpg https://cbu01.alicdn.com/img/ibank/O1CN014GsrLH1zMedIO2vH5_!!2214685846700-0-cib.jpg https://cbu01.alicdn.com/img/ibank/O1CN011VVzzM1zMedJXNPDr_!!2214685846700-0-cib.jpg https://cbu01.alicdn.com/img/ibank/O1CN01Cbi0Sq1zMedLZ9Dkw_!!2214685846700-0-cib.jpg https://cbu01.alicdn.com/img/ibank/O1CN01u9YQvg1zMedB5BLi7_!!2214685846700-0-cib.jpg https://cbu01.alicdn.com/img/ibank/O1CN01zJ2a9k1zMedIO2mzZ_!!2214685846700-0-cib.jpg https://cbu01.alicdn.com/img/ibank/O1CN01bvUAAO1zMedGXsaZd_!!2214685846700-0-cib.jpg https://cbu01.alicdn.com/img/ibank/O1CN01Dz9lLE1zMedJ54NLR_!!2214685846700-0-cib.jpg https://cbu01.alicdn.com/img/ibank/O1CN01iuz23I1zMedIUHPaV_!!2214685846700-0-cib.jpg https://cbu01.alicdn.com/img/ibank/O1CN013A6wzT1zMedGHCVtZ_!!2214685846700-0-cib.jpg
