3 screens. Base white, highlite white, and black.
45lpi makes it easy peasy for screen mesh selection and printing.
You can even print the base white first then black wet on wet to make the fade even smoother, flash then highlite white.
Good Luck

all of the above should work fine. lpi will depend on what you can hold or print. I would print white after black just so you are not stepping on the white and driving it further into the shirt. If it is a small order, you could even use only one white screen, but will have to compensate for dot gain and reduce the halftones in the splash part by about 50%. This way when you print the white two times and it spreads it will end up looking they way you want it rather than having everything fill in. The are around the number would probably have to be in the 10% range.
Something else to think about is the smallest dot you can hold. Figure out what it is and set the center of the drops (where it goes to 0) to that amount. This way you will not have a sharp line where your halftone dots start kicking in.
