Naturally Dyed Top 005

Vintage shirt with collar, buttoned down the front and open work embroidery all over. 

The label states 100% cotton. There is no retailer label, the original size label is medium, our measurements are shown below. 

This top has been dyed in an indigo vat in a mottled pattern that mimics the sky on a cloudy day. 

The colours of naturally dyed fabric, especially garment dyed are never as solid as you might expect to find from a commercially synthetic dyed item of clothing so expect depth and variation in shade across the garment. 

Indigo is very light and wash fast, however fading will happen eventually - just like a pair of denim jeans. This will happen faster if the clothing is hung in direct sunlight or exposed to harsh detergents. 

This is best washed at 20 degrees on a moderate spin speed, with a pH neutral non-biological detergent. 

Due to the nature of indigo dye, some colour transfer may occur, especially when worn or washed alongside lighter fabrics.
