NEW! Kingdom Hearts Printed Dresses + Shirts

Printed dresses and shirts have finally been added to the shop! I've always preferred cut-and-sew than printing graphics onto garments, though I wanted to try something more simple yet on point with Kingdom Hearts.  Maybe printing won't be so bad. 

I drew a LOT of different artworks before choosing the trios for something bright and cheery, and the heartless side for the opposite with black and gloomy. I scattered paopu leaves for one and heartless emblems for the other in a sort of homage to the "scattered dream" quote said by Sora. 

Another important detail I focused on: the fabric! I noticed that most printed fabrics come in a gaudy, shiny polyester that feels thin and flimsy. A lot of brands use polyester since it's more affordable and it does show the colors more vibrantly, however the hand feel is very lightweight and cheap-feeling, and tends not to hold well in the wash. I wanted to avoid this! I was able to have the patterns printed on COTTON fabric: breathable, washable, thicker weight, and overall comfortable to wear all day long. The garments feel more like clothing for daily wear than cosplay only pieces.
