Bella + Canvas B8101 - Women's Sheer Jersey T-Shirt - Heather Athletic

The Bella + Canvas B8101 is the Women's Sheer Jersey Short-Sleeve Tee, a lightweight 3.2 oz 100% combed and ring-spun sheer cotton jersey in a slim-fitting body, the blank a decorator reaches for when a women's order wants a soft, semi-transparent smooth jersey for layering rather than an opaque mid-weight crew. It is the tee for any decorated women's range pitched at a soft, retail-boutique look: layering pieces over a bralette or cami, festival and lifestyle apparel lines, soft fashion-fit merch, and the boutique programs that want a draped sheer jersey with a clean crew neck. The body is a 3.2 oz smooth jersey of 100% combed and ring-spun cotton, with a refined crew neck, set-in sleeves, side seams, an added body length and a slim-fit silhouette. The size range runs S through 2XL, in colours such as White, Black, Leaf, Midnight, Red, Team Purple, Raspberry and Berry. Two colours run a different recipe, Heather Athletic is a cotton-rich 90% cotton / 10% polyester, and Heather Deep is a 52% cotton / 48% polyester CVC, so the heathers print a little differently from the solid cotton.

The B8101 decorates as a smooth 100% cotton jersey, the easiest substrate to print, with one constraint, the fabric is sheer, so a print is bought to sit light on a see-through ground and a heavy opaque slab reads as a patch through the fabric. For water-based and discharge inks, the solid 100% cotton colours discharge cleanly for the softest possible no-feel hand, the standout route here because a soft water-based print adds almost no film weight and reads as part of the fabric on a sheer tee. For DTG, the smooth cotton face takes the ink opaque and sharp and needs only a white underbase on the dark grounds, but keep the art small and soft so it does not read as an opaque block through the see-through body. For DTF, the transfer bonds at standard heat-press settings; use a thin film and keep the placement small so it does not read heavy on the sheer ground. For screen printing with plastisol, the solid cotton body takes a crisp print with standard inks and no poly-blocking underbase, but keep it thin, small and reduced-cure so it does not weigh down the sheer fabric; the Heather Deep CVC colour wants a low-bleed underbase to manage its 48% polyester. For water-based work on the heathers, the cotton-rich Heather Athletic discharges close to a full cotton while the 48% poly in Heather Deep limits discharge to a faded tonal result. For vinyl, a soft HTV presses cleanly; keep pieces small on the lightweight sheer face. Embroidery is not recommended, since the sheer, lightweight single-layer jersey has no body to carry stitches and the backing shows through the transparent fabric. Sublimation does not apply, since the cotton-dominant body will not hold disperse dye and the tee is piece-dyed.

The reorder note specific to this style: treat it as a lightweight sheer 100% cotton jersey, so lean on water-based and discharge for the soft no-feel hand that suits a see-through tee, keep DTG, DTF and plastisol art small, thin and reduced-cure so it does not read as an opaque patch, add a low-bleed underbase only on the Heather Deep CVC colour, and skip embroidery since the sheer single-layer jersey shows the backing through.
