Linen Hemp Shirt Dress (Bengala Dye)
Fine-count linen forms the warp, while the weft alternates fine-count linen and hemp to give a textured, uneven weave. The open weave lets air pass through for comfort in the heat, and the natural crispness of linen and hemp makes it easy to wear in every season but winter. When dyed, the difference in how linen and hemp take colour brings out the weave pattern and enriches the fabric's character.
A front-opening shirt dress. The easy silhouette wears lightly, whether as an overlayer or on its own.
*There are knots and unevenness in the threads that are unique to natural materials. This is because we place importance on texture and use raw materials with uneven fibre lengths, so please consider this as part of the look. Please be careful not to pull on the knots in the threads too hard, as this may cause the threads to break and create holes in the fabric.
*Natural pigments are fixed with natural rubber, so there is a natural unevenness. To avoid colour transfer, avoid combining with light colours and be sure to wash it separately from other items the first 1-2 times. Since it is product dyed, the colour and size of each item may vary slightly.
