Polynosic clothing is very soft, silky, slimming, and is extremely comfortable to wear. The fiber is made from leaves from trees in the high mountains of China. Polynosic absorbs humidity better than cotton. Its polish parallels that of silk, and it is virtually static-free. Our shirts are a perfect blend of 83% Polynosic & 17% Polyester, great for travel. . . a little steam will smooth out any wrinkles. It can be washed with your other business clothing. If you silkscreen, paint or stamp it, you should turn it inside out and wash on the gentle/delicate cycles.

After many washings the fabric retains its shape and doesn't shrink or distort. It absorbs colors well so the fabric will look new even after repeated washes. Polynosic fabric also breathes well, allowing air to pass through and wick moisture away. This shirt retails for $37.50. We've seen prices as high as $49.99 on the web. Even if you decide to wear it unembellished as is, you're getting a great deal.

Though this shirt is beautiful enough to wear without embellishments, we love how it looks with a silkscreen (see image on the right for a detailed close-up). For decorating we recommend Jacquard's Lumiere metallic paints which have finely ground metallic pigments that give an elegant sheen to surfaces. The concentrated high quality pigments offer perfect coverage, even on dark fabric, Lumiere will not stiffen the fibers as much as other paints. This means your shirt will continue to have that fluid draping quality, even after painting or silkscreening.

Painting with a brush, stenciling, silk screening and rubber stamping are just a few of the ways to apply Lumiere paints to textiles. See below for some excellent sources for some beautiful silkscreens (from the Silk Experience group) to use. Jacquard's Lumiere paints are available from JoAnns and other craft stores.

Here is a size chart from the manufacturer. If you like your shirts loose I would recommend going one size larger than the chart recommends (e.g. I usually buy dresses in size 10/12 and shirts in size Large, but according to the chart size 10/12 would be Medium. Though I can wear the Medium size shirt tucked in, it is a bit tight so I prefer to wear it wear out and free flowing, so I prefer the size Large). The shirt is also more slimming worn out.

I can't tell you how many compliments I've received when wearing this shirt. It definitely is figure flattering and makes me look slimmer. I wear all the colors, some with silkscreens, some without depending on the look I want. At this price I can afford to have all combinations available. And they travel so well. Just hang them in the bathroom and take a shower to see the wrinkles disappear.
