Cool Mulberry Silk Black Shu Liang Dyed Xiangyunsha Silk Elastic Waist Drawstring Loose Carrot Pants

https://cbu01.alicdn.com/img/ibank/O1CN01biBWDo1KYCLUD47r7_!!2215676571175-0-cib.jpg Crafted from 100% mulberry silk spun into a fine, lightweight fabric, this piece is meticulously plant-dyed using the "Shu Liang" (sweet potato vine) method. Initially, it's dyed a rich, earthy brown on both sides. Subsequently, it's covered with river mud, creating a dual-tone effect where the mud-covered areas turn black, while the exposed areas retain their original brown hue. After washing off the mud and drying, the fabric is complete. This entire process is entirely manual, involving over a dozen steps and requiring exposure to the intense sun during the hottest summer months. Consequently, each piece of Xiangyunsha silk is as unique as a leaf in a vast forest, with no two being exactly alike. Visible handmade traces, such as irregular crackling patterns on the fabric surface, are characteristic. The texture is smooth yet retains a subtle crispness, feeling exceptionally cool and comfortable against the skin. Much like a Zisha teapot that benefits from human touch, the more it is worn, the softer and more skin-friendly it becomes, with its luster enhancing over time. This fabric is a black variant of "Cai Liang" (colored silk). It undergoes an additional black dyeing process on top of its existing dual-tone base, resulting in a double-sided black effect. The two sides of black exhibit different sheens: the side treated with river mud boasts a richer luster, while the reverse side has a matte finish. The length is approximately 9/10, offering a loose yet elongating silhouette. The fabric possesses a structured quality, allowing it to hold its shape beautifully. This piece emphasizes a fluid, linear texture. When worn, whether standing or walking, the interplay between the fabric's sheen and the garment's cut creates elegantly flowing lines. Featuring a drawstring elastic waistband, the back hip has an inner welt pocket and a patch pocket, complemented by two side pockets, providing ample security. The legs are generously cut and slightly tapered at the hem due to a small pleat, creating a subtle carrot-leg effect. The fabric is smooth, crisp, and refined, exuding a sophisticated aura that pairs elegantly with a variety of tops. Notes: Xiangyunsha silk requires specific care. Slight color bleeding upon initial washes is normal and not a defect. Avoid soaking; a simple rinse in cool water is sufficient. Do not use laundry detergent; a small amount of baby bath wash can be used as a substitute. Machine washing and direct sun exposure are not recommended. The fabric's rich character includes irregular crackling, natural color variations from washing, and slight differences in tone across the fabric width, all of which may be present in the finished garment. Occasional small color spots may also occur. These are considered normal characteristics of Xiangyunsha silk and may include other unmentioned variations. Those who appreciate Xiangyunsha silk will understand these nuances. https://img.alicdn.com/imgextra/i1/51479120/O1CN01oQdjbw2HF15eaoUPk_!!51479120.jpg https://cbu01.alicdn.com/img/ibank/O1CN01rKaXEn1KYCLOhR7Xc_!!2215676571175-0-cib.jpg https://cbu01.alicdn.com/img/ibank/O1CN01Bqv7Fa1KYCLKAStDX_!!2215676571175-0-cib.jpg https://cbu01.alicdn.com/img/ibank/O1CN01RlH5Zt1KYCLS3C9SM_!!2215676571175-0-cib.jpg https://cbu01.alicdn.com/img/ibank/O1CN01JWMdQd1KYCLRj1kzt_!!2215676571175-0-cib.jpg https://cbu01.alicdn.com/img/ibank/O1CN01L7xvs81KYCLS7TGSF_!!2215676571175-0-cib.jpg https://cbu01.alicdn.com/img/ibank/O1CN01qWQAB71KYCLOhTbNh_!!2215676571175-0-cib.jpg https://cbu01.alicdn.com/img/ibank/O1CN01BiRHwi1KYCLS39wKB_!!2215676571175-0-cib.jpg https://cbu01.alicdn.com/img/ibank/O1CN01DbRFGk1KYCLUD2aDB_!!2215676571175-0-cib.jpg
