Misty Bloom Dye 烟霞染翠 – Hand-Dyed Ramie Shirt

This lightweight hand-dyed ramie cotton shirt serves as a functional summer outer layer, blending a Chinese style casual top aesthetic with reliable sun protection. The hand-dyeing process ensures that each piece possesses a unique depth of color and subtle tonal transitions that distinguish it from mass-produced garments.

The ramie cotton fabric is chosen for its crisp, breathable texture, which allows for maximum airflow and keeps the skin cool in humid conditions. Its relaxed silhouette is designed to drape naturally, offering a comfortable fit that does not cling to the body.

Hand-Dyed Artistry and Texture

Unlike industrial dyes, the Misty Bloom Dye technique creates a visual grain and color layers that evolve over time. This shirt features a literary retro aesthetic with a focus on simple lines, making it suitable for layering over sleeveless dresses or pairing with linen trousers.

Size and Fit Guidance

This garment is offered in One Size with a generous 120cm (47.2″) waist. It is specifically designed to provide an oversized, flowing fit for individuals weighing between 50kg to 80kg (110lbs – 176lbs) and heights ranging from 155cm to 175cm. For those on the smaller end of the scale, it serves as a stylishly loose duster or cover-up.

Care for Hand-Dyed Fabric

To maintain the integrity of the natural pigments and the crispness of the ramie fibers, please follow these care instructions:

• Hand wash in cold water using a pH-neutral detergent.
• Wash separately during the first few cleans, as natural dyes may release minor excess pigment.
• Air dry in a shaded area. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent the botanical colors from fading prematurely.
• If ironing is required, use a low heat setting while the fabric is slightly damp.
