Product Overview
The Stella Etta from Stanley/Stella represents a sophisticated evolution of the classic female-fit t-shirt. Constructed from a deliberate blend of organic cotton and TENCEL Modal, this garment is engineered for those who require a professional appearance without sacrificing comfort or environmental responsibility. The inclusion of Modal provides a natural fluidity and a soft-to-the-touch finish that differentiates it from standard promotional wear. Its design features a relaxed fit and a thoughtfully shaped curved hem that is slightly longer at the back, offering a modern, feminine silhouette that sits well whether tucked in or worn loose.
Key Features
- Organic Cotton and TENCEL Modal Blend: The combination of 60% organic ringspun combed cotton and 40% Modal ensures a garment that is exceptionally soft, breathable, and holds its shape effectively.
- Curved Hem Detail: The longer back and curved hem provide additional coverage and a more refined aesthetic compared to traditional straight-cut t-shirts.
- Structural Reinforcement: Twin-needle topstitching at the sleeve cuffs and hem adds significant durability, preventing the edges from fraying or losing their form during daily use.
- 1x1 Rib Collar: A high-quality rib at the neckline ensures the collar remains flat and resists stretching over time.
- Self-fabric Back Neck Tape: This internal finish enhances wearer comfort by preventing the neck seam from irritating the skin.
Design & Performance
This t-shirt is prioritised for its lightweight and breathable performance, making it an excellent choice for warm-weather environments or for those working in active roles. The fabric composition is OCS-certified, reflecting a commitment to sustainable sourcing that does not compromise on the technical quality of the material. The ringspun combed cotton provides a smooth, stable surface that is specifically designed to accept high-quality customisation. Furthermore, the garment carries accreditations from the Fair Wear Foundation and Peta Approved Vegan, ensuring that your company's workwear meets the highest ethical standards.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Stella Etta is an ideal canvas for both print and embroidery, handled by our expert team in Telford. For companies seeking a traditional and highly durable branding solution, embroidery is recommended for logos and staff names, providing a three-dimensional, professional finish. For those requiring larger, more vibrant graphics or promotional messaging, the smooth surface of the cotton-modal blend is perfectly suited to high-definition printing. Since 1976, MyWorkwear has refined the process of applying branding to technical fabrics, ensuring that your design remains sharp and intact throughout the life of the garment.
Use Cases
Given its refined finish and sustainable credentials, the Stella Etta is particularly well-suited for boutique retail environments, hospitality front-of-house staff, and corporate events where a more sophisticated casual look is required. It is also an excellent choice for fitness or wellness brands looking for a premium, lightweight uniform that feels significantly better than standard polyester alternatives.

Practical Advice
The Stella Etta features a relaxed fit. When selecting sizes, please refer to our standard UK sizing guide, which ranges from size 8 (XS) to size 18 (2XL). Due to the lightweight nature of the fabric, this t-shirt is excellent for layering under knitwear or softshell jackets without creating unnecessary bulk. The tear-away tag also makes this an ideal choice if you are looking to create a fully bespoke, white-label clothing line for your business.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and the soft hand feel of the TENCEL fibers, we recommend a machine wash at 30°C. Washing at higher temperatures may cause the organic cotton to shrink and can degrade the smoothness of the modal blend.
Bleaching should be avoided entirely. The use of harsh chemical bleaches will break down the natural fibers and significantly fade both the garment colour and any applied customisation. For the same reason, dry cleaning is not recommended, as the chemicals used in the process are unnecessary for this fabric type.
When drying, please avoid the use of a tumble dryer. High heat can damage the elasticity of the 1x1 rib collar and may cause the printed designs to crack or peel. Instead, air dry the garment to ensure it retains its shape. If ironing is necessary, use a low-temperature setting and avoid ironing directly over any printed areas to protect the branding.
