The cloth
100% washed linen. It is soft from the first wear and softer after every one. It creases, and it will keep creasing. A linen dress worn all day looks like a linen dress worn all day, and that is the point of it. Cut in any of our thirty linens: pick the colour on this page, or choose Custom and name it in your order note.
The fit
Nothing is cut before you order it. Choose a size from the guide, or choose Custom and send your bust, waist, hips and height in the order note and we cut the pattern to those numbers. A shorter hem, a longer sleeve, a higher neckline: ask in the same note. The custom fit and the changes are both free.
Care
- Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a little mild detergent. Hand wash if you prefer.
- Hang to dry in the shade. A low tumble is fine; high heat shortens the life of the fibre.
- Iron on the reverse while the cloth is still slightly damp, or leave the creases. We leave them.
- Wash with like colours for the first few washes.

Questions people ask
Will it fit me?
Choose a size from XS to 4XL, or choose Custom and send your bust, waist, hips and height in the order note. We cut the pattern to those numbers instead. The custom fit costs nothing extra and takes no longer.
Does it have pockets?
Yes. Pockets set into the side seams, so they sit flat and do not break the line of the cloth.
How does it fit through the body?
Easy through the body, with gathers giving it fullness below. Not close-fitting anywhere.
How long is it?
Above the knee. Choose Custom and send your height if you would rather it sat lower, which costs nothing.
Can I have it in a different colour?
Yes. Any style can be cut in any of our 39 linens at the same price. Pick the linen on this page, or choose the custom colour option and name the one you want.
How long until it arrives?
Seven to fifteen days from order to delivery, anywhere we ship. Nothing is cut before you order it, so a few of those days are the making. Shipping is free and you get a tracking number the day the parcel leaves Jaipur.
Can I return it?
Within thirty days of delivery, unworn and unwashed with the tags on. Write to us first so we can send the return address. Return postage is yours. A piece cut to your own measurements cannot be returned unless it arrives faulty.
How do I wash it?
Machine wash cool on a gentle cycle and line dry. It will soften with every wash. Iron it damp if you want it smooth, or leave it, which is what linen is for.
