Short Sleeve Silk Shirt Womens

Order FAQs

1. What types of silk weaves and momme weights do you recommend for women’s short sleeve shirts to achieve different aesthetics (e.g., structured, fluid, relaxed) and ensure durability?

We recommend three primary options for versatility and quality: 16-19 momme silk crepe de chine for a fluid, matte drape ideal for relaxed and blouson styles; 19-22 momme silk twill for a more structured, polished look that holds crisp collars and cuffs; and 14-16 momme silk habotai for lightweight, breezy shirts with a soft sheen. All options are pre-shrunk and tested for colorfastness.

2. Can you produce a wide range of sleeve styles (e.g., puff sleeve, lantern sleeve, classic tailored) and necklines (V-neck, Mandarin, Peter Pan)? What are the pattern minimums?

Absolutely. We specialize in diverse women’s shirt designs: sleeve styles include puff, lantern, bishop, cap, and classic tailored; necklines range from classic point collar to Mandarin, V-neck, and convertible styles. New pattern development for a unique sleeve or neckline requires a minimum order of 300 pieces per design.

3. How do you handle fit and sizing, especially for styles meant to be oversized, tailored, or “boyfriend” fit? Can we provide our own size specs?

We offer multiple base fit blocks: Tailored Fit (darted for shape), Regular Fit (straight cut), Oversized/Boyfriend Fit, and Relaxed Fit. You can provide your detailed size chart for grading, or we can adapt our blocks to your specifications. We provide a fit spec sheet for precise communication.

4. What is your capability for custom prints on short sleeve shirts, and how do you manage pattern placement and alignment (e.g., across seams, plackets, yokes)?

We offer high-definition digital printing for unlimited colors and complex designs (MOQ 200 pieces per print). Our CAD system creates digital markers to optimize pattern placement across all pieces before cutting, ensuring pattern continuity at seams and symmetrical placement on yokes and plackets. We provide a digital placement mockup for approval.

5. What is your minimum order quantity, and do you allow fabric/color splits within an order to build a small collection?

Our MOQ is 200 pieces per style. We encourage collection building by allowing fabric and color splits within the same style to meet this MOQ (e.g., 100 pieces in silk twill/ivory + 100 pieces in silk crepe/navy). This provides flexibility for launching capsule collections.

6. What construction techniques do you use to ensure quality finishes on delicate silk, such as clean seam finishes, secure buttons, and durable hems?

We employ several quality techniques: French seams or clean-finished seams throughout to prevent fraying and irritation; reinforced buttonholes with bartacking; lightweight interfacings for collars/cuffs that maintain softness; and fine, matching thread for nearly invisible topstitching. All buttons are securely shanked and tested.

7. Can you assist with sustainable options, such as GOTS-certified organic silk or recycled packaging, for our eco-conscious line?

Yes. We can source GOTS-certified organic mulberry silk (lead time +3-4 weeks) and use OEKO-TEX certified dyes. For packaging, we offer FSC-certified recycled paper boxes and compostable polybags. These options may affect MOQ and cost, which we can detail in a separate quotation.

8. What is your typical production timeline from confirmed tech pack and fabric to shipment, and how do you handle quality assurance?

Our standard production timeline is 45-55 days after final sample approval and fabric readiness. This includes: 5-7 days for pattern grading/marking, 15-20 days for cutting and sewing, and 7-10 days for quality control, finishing, and packing. Our QA process includes in-line checks and a final AQL 2.5 inspection. We provide a detailed production schedule upon order confirmation.
