This breathable and feminine fabric is knit loose to create a feather-light weight and flowy fit paired with the oh-so-soft hand feel that customers have come to expect from us. Soft, simple and sustainable, 100% of the polyester used in Eco-Gauze is recycled, so the wearer can look good and feel even better. Eco-Gauze is offered in 4 wonderfully flowy and comfortable styles that pair perfectly with the softness and natural drape of our airy, knit gauze fabric. Given the relaxed nature of the fabric, all silhouettes in the collection are offered in 2 sizes that fit most (XS/S & M/L). These beautifully light and versatile styles are perfect for wearing to or from the gym or as an effortlessly cool layering piece. The 5 colors featured in the collection also play on the light and feminine feel of the fabric. Eco-Gauze styles are offered in White Mist, Rose Quartz, Grey Storm, Tidal Blue and Caviar. All of these light colors are great for printing with water-based inks (just be sure to follow printing guidelines for any poly-blend fabric) for a perfectly soft, yet durable print.   **THE COLLECTION:**     #### [![eco-gauze-float-tank](https://blog.wholesale.alternativeapparel.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog/products/eco-gauze-float-tank-726393-edited.jpg?width=140&name=eco-gauze-float-tank-726393-edited.jpg) Float Tank: This draped tank features a beautiful lower back neckline, an on-trend rounded high-low hem and a pleat detail down the middle of the back, creating a beautiful drape.](http://wholesale.alternativeapparel.com/imprintables/float-eco-gauze-tank-top-06022g2) #### [![eco-gauze drift](https://blog.wholesale.alternativeapparel.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog/products/eco-gauze-drift-744974-edited.jpg?width=140&name=eco-gauze-drift-744974-edited.jpg) Drift Short-Sleeved Dolman: This breathable, worn-it style features a drop tail hem, rolled intact short sleeves, dolman cut and a super flattering open neckline.](http://wholesale.alternativeapparel.com/imprintables/drift-eco-gauze-t-shirt-06027g2) #### [![eco-gauze roam](https://blog.wholesale.alternativeapparel.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog/products/eco-gauze-roam-1-773032-edited.jpg?width=140&name=eco-gauze-roam-1-773032-edited.jpg) Roam Short Sleeved Tee: This easy-going tee has a cool and relaxed look with a split neckline, drop-tail hem and dolman sleeves that hit just above the elbow.](http://wholesale.alternativeapparel.com/imprintables/roam-eco-gauze-t-shirt-06023g2) ![eco-gauze ramble](https://blog.wholesale.alternativeapparel.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog/products/eco-gauze-ramble-756897-edited.jpg?width=140&name=eco-gauze-ramble-756897-edited.jpg) #### [Ramble Long Sleeved Raglan Tunic:](http://wholesale.alternativeapparel.com/imprintables/ramble-eco-gauze-raglan-tunic-06024g2) [Styled for a casual and relaxed silhouette, this long sleeve tee features a wide neck line, long raglan sleeves, a curved hem and sleeve detailing on the forearm and shoulders.](http://wholesale.alternativeapparel.com/imprintables/ramble-eco-gauze-raglan-tunic-06024g2)         **RECOMMENDED PRINT/DESIGN TIPS:** - Suggested Ink: Water-based - Suggested Design Tip: Distressed or Vintage-looking artwork - Suggested Temperature: 170º C, between 45 sec to 60 sec through printing oven (size and quality of oven are a determining factor) - Other printing methods: Digital and sublimation prints could work, transfer could pass through fabric due to high pressure and temperature.
