You may remember some of these designs from dog shows. These are the painted shirts that Argostar is known for.  Many people who purchased then have become long time customers and friends, still wearing shirts that were created during that time.

Due to the nature of the materials used in the creation of the hand painted designs, they do not photograph well.  Reflection from the dimensional nature of the paint and the sparkle and shine of the glitter designs limit the ability to demonstrate the beauty of the actual garment. The photos are intended to be previews only and those of you who have seen them, other than on the Internet, can attest that they are much clearer and brighter than portrayed.

The main body of the large objects (dogs and other major object within the design) are individually drawn and cut from pieces of fabric.  These images are then fused on to the article to be decorated and details are painted with fabric paint, making the items washable.  Some designs are embellished with a washable glitter. It is a lengthy process, with each item taking approximately two or more hours to complete, depending upon complexity.

Please refer to the size chart, by following the link at the bottom of the page, for selecting the best fit.

Washing information: Turn the item inside out and place in the washing machine, using gentle cycle/warm water.  To dry, leave the item inside out and place in the dryer using low heat or air dry.  Do not use cold water as it has a tendency to make the fabric paint brittle (think of the properties of taffy -- pliable when warm, but brittle and breakable when cold).  Sequined fabric should be air dried.  It may be machine washed.
