Lotus Ripple Zephyr 荷风微澜 – Ruffled Hand-Dyed Ramie Blouse

The Lotus Ripple Zephyr is an artistic expression of absolute relaxation, designed for those who seek a Zen-inspired aesthetic without compromising on textural depth. This piece functions perfectly as a standalone top for tea ceremonies or a breathable summer cover-up for layered styling.

Crafted from 100% premium ramie, this blouse utilizes a hand-dyed process that creates a living color profile with subtle, natural variations. The garment-wash finish softens the naturally crisp ramie fibers, resulting in a fabric that feels dry and airy against the skin while maintaining enough structure to hold its architectural shape.

Featuring an extraordinary 174cm (68.5 inch) bust, this blouse employs an extreme batwing sleeve construction. This design ensures that the fabric drapes elegantly from the shoulders rather than clinging to the body, making it a true “one size” garment that accommodates various frames with a flowing, ethereal movement.

• Handcrafted Closures: Traditional frog buttons provide a secure, heritage-inspired fastening at the standing collar.
• Tiered Ruffles: Delicate ruffled edging on the collar, cuffs, and hem adds visual weight and layered shadows to the garment’s edges.
• Artisanal Dyeing: The hand-dyeing technique ensures no two pieces are identical, celebrating the beauty of slight tonal inconsistencies.

To preserve the integrity of the hand-dyed ramie and the delicate ruffle structures, please follow these guidelines:

• Hand wash only in cold water with a pH-neutral detergent.
• Avoid soaking for extended periods to prevent dye migration.
• Dry in the shade; direct sunlight can cause the natural plant-based dyes to fade prematurely.
• Iron on a medium setting while the fabric is slightly damp to restore its natural luster.

Measurement Note: The bust measurement reflects the batwing sleeve design. We recommend allowing for a 1-3cm manual measurement difference.
