Each piece of french lace is cut and measured according to the shoulder width of the silk shirt and meticulously hand sewn onto the shoulder. This gives a very soft feel to the silk shirt as compared to using sewing machine to sew the lace onto the shirt. And when you flip over the shirt, you will not see ugly stitch marks. Silk fabric itself is soft and dainty and more difficult to handle than other fabrics like cotton when sewing. A seamstress has to exercise patience and care when handling silk as it tears and slips easily.
This is the true mark of fine workmaship. However, as a result, it takes thrice as long to complete each piece. And perhaps it can answer humbly the question why this silk shirt is sold at $268.
