Body-to-width ratio and hem positionQIANLONG / CRAFTSMANSHIP LIBRARY
A wash process that lifts colour unevenly across the finished garment to create a faded, mottled surface. Because the effect is created after construction, it treats the whole piece rather than a placed area. The base cloth decides how dramatic the result can be.
PARAMETERS
| Best on fabrics | Visual effect | Artwork needs | Limits / risks | Typical add-on lead impact |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton-rich knits and wovens; denim is the classic base | Uneven, faded surface with natural variation between pieces | No artwork file — agree a reference wash sample instead | Colour and fade vary piece to piece; synthetics that will not release dye are not suitable | Adds a wash cycle after assembly, so bulk typically runs longer |
