[IN STOCK] Bat Mesh Chest Window Crop Blouse with Black Velvet

Now with a size Small! PLEASE NOTE the typo in the size chart regarding 3X and 4X length - that should be a 2 not a 3!!

These crop tops are near and dear to my heart. I originally designed this shirt in 2019, and and I am very proud of it. However, I decided I will not be restocking them again because fast fashion companies are now reproducing similar designs and able to at half the cost. I can't keep up with it and don't like charging so much, nor does it sell at pricing that would allow me to be able to afford to restock them. So this is the last run and they will not be coming back. Thank you for your understanding.

All fit models are wearing approved samples, which used a more common type of velvet that is somewhat bristly, please see the second-to-last photo for a look at the final version. The size pictured first is a size medium, model ~130lbs 5'5" wearing unpadded bra (padded is a significant difference in fit - still would fit of course but not in ownership of a nude padded bra). The next image is 2 different people wearing a size L, and the last fit model is in size 4XL. Size chart is the final image.

The back of the shirt has a large keyhole design with a button closure at the back of the collar. The collar is not lined with velvet, so it is not prickly against the skin. I have fibromyalgia so please trust me on it being comfortable on the inside.

Final material for in-stock sizes is 70% cotton and 25% polyester, 5% spandex. The white fabric is NOT stretchy, and has a very high thread count. It is fairly sheer and meant to be breathable. I would recommend if you do not want the bra or your chest visible underneath, wearing a nude color bra or binding to match your skin tone, but white might also look OK. The preorder sizes are made with a slightly-thicker, less-see-through white fabric, which will eventually replace the whole run when current sizes sell out.Once the whole run is replaced with the thicker fabric, they will all be $75. As shown, garments may need some trimming; I bought some small scissors just to trim loose threads on these before they ship out.

They may be wrinkly upon receipt; it's okay to iron ONLY the white fabric, without steam, using a cloth barrier between, such as a washcloth. Otherwise, tumble drying without any heat might knock out stubborn wrinkles. These are hand wash/wash on delicates cycle inside garments bag ONLY, but I strongly recommend handwashing instead of taking a chance with the latter.

This will be worn by character Chloe in DLC 1 for Apocalyptic Dream, a Midnight Springs video game in production (sprite art not yet finished).
