Stunning Stylish Sunset Silhouette Shirt

Description

This hand painted shirt, is wearable art, that will brighten up your life! and all who sees you wearing it.

When you wear bright happy colours, not only do you brighten others lives, you get such compliments from people, that, even if you weren't feeling good that day, you begin to feel better, when they say things like,
" Wow, you're looking good today !".

All because the bright shirt you are wearing, made them feel suddenly better in themselves. It snowballs, and before you know it, you are feeling much happier within yourself.

Colour has an incredible, affect in our lives, yet so many people live and wear very boring, bland, or dark clothes. They try and fit in with the masses, try to blend in with the crowd, they can become 'almost invisible'.

I having worn different and very bright clothes since I first started buying my own clothing, from second hand shops,and markets, I find people everywhere remember me, for years. And I get lots of warm and friendly smiles, from total strangers, and spontaneous compliments while shopping in the supermarket. It's very Up-Lifting !

This is sized XS, yet is more like small to med, it measures 32"(81cm) flat, 40"(101cm) stretched, around the bust, 22"(56cm) wrist to neckline, 21"(53cm) neck to bottom edge,and 32"(81cm)flat,42(107cm)stretched, around the hips lower edge.

My hand-painted clothing, has first, been thoroughly washed, to remove any starches and chemicals, present in new cotton, or hidden cellulose stains in good quality pre-loved shirts.
Then it is hand-painted with Fibre-reactive dyes, and I work with each colour, the brush, gradually becoming dryer, carefully blending in to the lighter colours.
After it sits, for anything over the minimum of 12 hours, (often a few days) to get maximum 'Reactive' time, it is washed exhaustively, to remove ALL excess dye, (sits leaching in buckets over night) til I am satisfied.

The Sunset Silhouette Shirts, then have their silhouettes hand-painted on, with black Fabric Paint (Silk Screen Ink).
Each is an individual artwork carefully painted on to different types of fabric, (ribbed fabrics being the hardest). They are then Heat set with an iron.

Painting on to fabric is a lot harder than paper or canvas, as you need to achieve the Right amount of 'Flow', without the paint 'Bleeding'.
The Silhouettes are painted all the way around the shirt, with a different landscape view on the reverse side. All are totally Unique and individual.

They can be hung on your walls when not being worn. either on a coat hanger or a short length of Bamboo with a coat hanger hook screwed in.

This shirt is a good quality pre-loved shirt.
Whilst the fabric dye has been thoroughly, rinsed, we advise washing by hand in a gentle wool wash for the silhouettes longevity. They do not like hard detergents, or soak/agitate cycles. My Mum always washes hers in the machine, but she uses a blue plastic ball filled with liquid, instead of detergent.
