Mulberry Silk Shirt Womens

Order FAQs

1. What is the actual grade (e.g., 5A, 6A) and momme weight of your mulberry silk, and how does it specifically impact the drape, durability, and color vibrancy compared to common silk blends?

We exclusively use 100% 6A Grade Long-strand Mulberry Silk, the highest commercial grade. Our shirts are crafted from 16-25 momme fabrics, with 19-22 momme being optimal for most styles. This ensures superior tensile strength (40% higher than 4A grade), exceptional color saturation due to smoother fibers, and a fluid yet substantial drape that cheaper blends cannot replicate. We provide fiber grade certificates and fabric swatch books upon request.

2. For a luxury women’s shirt line, what specialized construction techniques do you employ to handle delicate silk while ensuring durability at stress points (armholes, plackets, buttonholes)?

Our luxury construction protocol includes:

Micro-french seams (4mm allowance) throughout for clean finishes

Bias-cut armhole facings that conform to shape without pulling

Hand-pressed and grommeted buttonholes to prevent fraying

Reinforced shoulder seams with silk organza tape

Precision-thread-tension calibration for each fabric weight

These techniques add 15-20% more labor time but result in garments that withstand 50+ professional cleanings.

3. What range of contemporary women’s shirt styles can you produce (e.g., oversized, tailored, wrap, peplum) and what are the pattern development minimums?

Our design portfolio includes:

Structural styles: Tailored darted shirts, tuxedo shirts, structured popovers

Fluid styles: Oversized boyfriend cuts, waterfall front, asymmetric hem

Feature styles: Wrap shirts, peplum designs, cold-shoulder details

New pattern development requires 500-piece commitment per style, which includes digital pattern making, 3D simulation, and 2 physical fit samples.

4. How do you manage color consistency for seasonal collections requiring multiple coordinating colors, and can you match specific Pantone colors?

We operate a digital color management lab with spectrophotometer-controlled dyeing. For seasonal collections:

We create a master color palette with 6-8 coordinating shades

Each color receives 3-step approval: digital simulation → lab dip → bulk lot sample

We maintain dye lot archives for perfect reorders

Pantone matching accuracy: ΔE ≤ 1.5 (visually identical). Minimum custom color order: 200 meters per shade.

5. What sustainable and certified options do you offer, particularly for brands requiring transparency in their supply chain?

Our sustainable division provides:

GOTS-certified organic mulberry silk (from certified farms)

Traceability documentation from cocoon to finished garment

Low-impact dyes with wastewater treatment certification

Carbon-neutral production option (with offset verification)

Biodegradable packaging with seed paper tags

Certified production requires 30% longer lead time and minimum 1,000 pieces per production run.

6. What is your production capacity for coordinated collections (e.g., shirts in multiple colors/fabrics), and how do you handle quality control across complex orders?

Our monthly capacity: 25,000-30,000 units of women’s silk shirts. For coordinated collections, we implement:

Batch-based production scheduling to maintain color consistency

Cross-style QC teams trained on specific construction details

Digital order tracking with real-time QC checkpoints

Pre-shipment consolidation inspection ensuring collection cohesion

We recommend collections be ordered in multiples of 500 pieces for optimal production flow.

7. Can you produce shirts with custom technical features like temperature regulation, wrinkle resistance, or stretch, while maintaining 100% silk content?

Yes, through our performance silk treatments:

Temperature regulation: Phase-change material microcapsules (lasts 30+ washes)

Wrinkle resistance: Molecular-level silk protein restructuring

Natural stretch: Special weaving techniques (up to 15% mechanical stretch)

These are additive treatments applied to 100% silk, requiring minimum 1,000 pieces per treatment type and adding 10-25% to base cost.

8. What is your complete timeline from design concept to shipment for a new collection, and what key milestones should we plan for?

Our 85-day luxury production calendar:

Days 1-15: Design development & fabric sourcing

Days 16-30: Sampling (2 rounds) & fitting

Days 31-45: Pre-production (pattern grading, marker making)

Days 46-75: Production & in-line QC

Days 76-85: Final inspection, labeling, packing

Key milestone: Design freeze by Day 20 to maintain timeline. We provide a shared project dashboard with weekly progress updates.
