This luxurious long-sleeved silk shirt for women is made from the smoothest, softest fabric imaginable- 100% pure organic ribbed silk.  Ribbed silk is a shiny, even material with a sophisticated elegance and a luminous shine.   Shirts and tops made from ribbed silk can be worn as underwear to keep warm in winter, or as regular clothing to keep cool during summer.  These garments are excellent for traveling as they are lightweight and take up very little space.  The top features a low round neck and has a relaxed, comfortable fit. 

This pure filament silk (organic 'Bio-silk') is processed in a way that preserves the natural luster and smooth, reflective surface of silk, so this baby shirt will have the smooth, 'silky' texture that comes to mind that most people associate with of silk.  This is quite different from the texture of bourette silk or raw silk, from which some of Alkena's other baby products are made.  

Made by Sichuan Alkena, this shirt is 100% certified organic silk.  Alkena silk is the only silk in the world that is certified organic.  The benefit of organic silk for your baby is that there are no chemical residues left on the finished garment following processing.   

The quality of Alkena silk is second to none, and silk is one of the most ideal options for baby clothing.    Silk is wonderful for the skin, particularly for sensitive baby skin.  Silk is soft, gentle, and truly luxurious.  It is ideal for year-round wear, helping to regulate the body’s temperature and keeping your baby cool during summer and warm during winter.  Silk is both insulating and breathable.  Silk also resists dirt and odors quite well, another reason it’s an excellent choice for babies. 

All of Alkena’s processes, including knitting, weaving, dyeing, printing and sewing are annually inspected and monitored by IMO as against Global Organic Textile Standard.  Sichuan Alkena focuses on dyestuff quality and is environment-friendly. The Alkena dyeing mill utilizes Clariant reactive dyestuff free from heavy metals, toxin and AOX.

Care:   The fabric regenerates itself quickly by simply hanging the garment in the fresh air.  It is easy to wash and it dries quickly.  Turn garment inside out and place inside of a laundry bag or washing net.  This organic silk garment is machine washable at 86 degrees F with a liquid detergent designed for wool or silk (make sure that the detergent is pH neutral).  Ironing is not necessary.

Ethically made by Alkena Silk in Sichuan Province, China.

I ordered a medium since they are slightly big for me. This shirt's medium looks like an extra small. The sleeves reach about two inches above my wrist bone and the bottom of shirt is above my belly button. Way too short to tuck into pants. It's ridiculous. Only good thing is that I don't get tangled up in it while sleeping, but my stomach gets cold because it's too short. Wasn't worth the money.
