'stretching out the night' detailed art blouse
This is a most comfortable, versatile blouse you can think of. First of all, it is black, which is a wonderful neutral, but not totally black, plus it has lots of different textures that work together and catch the light differently. It has a wonderful medley of textures, from pleated soft back to various hand-added textures in the front, to further add to the different types of materials used - all natural, mostly silk, with the exception of the high-tech pleated back. It has stretch to it to maximize comfort. There are so many things to discover in it, from the unusual sculpted asymmetrical collar to hand-knitted soft organic cotton accent on bottom, top stitching throughout, 'snow-covered' areas, hand-painted subtle designs and much much more. It is lightweight, with a great drape, and will move around your body with ease. Another piece you can totally dress up or down. Roomy in design, it is equally good true to size or oversized as shown. Product code: L3339

Very brief cold water hand wash, a few drops of mild detergent, always separately, spin in washer and dry on medium, or air dry and finish in dryer to soften. Also can be dry cleaned by mild methods, or dry cleaned in dryer at home with a store-bought kit. Do not use stain removers, spot treaters or bleach pens. Contact us for any advice, if needed.
All garments arrive to you freshly cleaned, unlike regular store-bought items, and are ready to wear.
Dry-cleaning is ok on most items but only if gentle methods are used and the cleaners are familiar with cleaning hand-painted delicate fabrics.
To freshen up any item that doesn’t need deep cleaning simply mist it with a water spray and put in the dryer on medium heat for about 15 min.
All garments can be hand washed. Wash each item separately, cold water only, minimal amount of detergent, and as briefly as possible, no soaking. The wash can be followed by a spin in the washer and dried on medium heat until dry. Knits should be hung-dried and when dry, finished in the dryer for a few minutes to soften.
Hand-pressing may be necessary after the wash and dry to straighten out the seams and edges which tend to pucker or curl on natural fabrics.
Some hand-dyed items may leak a bit of color during the washing, that is normal and will not affect the item. Using liquid softener during the wash will minimize any color leaking.
