Japanese 100% Cotton Three-Texture Dot Patchwork V-Neck Pleated Sleeve Blouse Top

🔺September 2023🔺 This piece, long out of production, has been meticulously recreated using scarce materials. Unlike the original, this iteration features exquisite, natural shell buttons. The fabric is difficult to source, and its cost has increased by over 30% since the initial release. Consequently, the pricing for this restock has been adjusted. Quantities are limited, so seize this opportunity to order. To minimize material waste, each item is made-to-order. Production begins only after an order is placed. As materials are scarce and require time to prepare, orders are accepted based on availability. Please allow approximately 28 working days for material preparation and creation. Kindly ensure you are comfortable with this timeframe before ordering. 🔺Tuck Tuck tuck tuck🔺 "Tuck tuck" refers to the technique of folding and stitching fabric to create pleats. This collection encompasses several styles featuring dimensional pleating. 🔺 Made in Japan, 100% Cotton. The designer has thoughtfully curated three types of dot-textured fabrics. The material is processed using natural sun-drying, imparting a naturally crinkled texture. Featuring three distinct dimensional dot weaves (small dots, large dots, and raised snow dots), these fabrics are artfully pieced together. The three white backgrounds have subtle variations in tone, not being entirely identical whites. We hope you understand these nuances before placing your order. The fabric is slightly sheer, requiring an inner layer or camisole. Due to the difficulty in sourcing materials, quantities are limited. Fabric selection, pattern drafting, and creation are all meticulously handled by the designer. Materials are scarce and require time for preparation. Please allow approximately 28 working days for material preparation and creation. Kindly ensure you are comfortable with this timeframe before ordering. 🔺 The design features a V-neck at both the front and back. The neckline is adorned with dimensional pleats, creating soft draping. Pleating is also incorporated into the sleeves, which are approximately three-quarter length with elasticated cuffs. The silhouette features a gently puffed sleeve. Three small buttons adorn the neckline, allowing for adjustable coverage. Exquisite Japanese-made stand-up shell buttons have been selected. The longer version is designed to cover the hips, with the back slightly longer than the front.
