From the brand: This "Steam Stretch"* top features a patchwork-like arrangement of vertical and horizontal pleats. This is an item that can be used in wide-ranging scenarios, made with a unique textile and a design unlike any other. It is made from partially plant-derived polyester and recycled polyester thread. Due to the nature of the material, the size and pattern of this product vary from item to item. Please note this in advance.
*The “Steam Stretch” technique shrinks cloth by applying hot steam in order to create unique stretch materials. Special threads shrunken with heat are woven with other threads, and then only the special thread parts shrink when the steam is applied. By only shrinking the intended parts of the piece of woven cloth, three-dimensional patterns and shapes are created and the garment is completed.
