Linen Hemp Shirt Dress (Plant 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.
*Enjoy the unevenness of the plant dye and its aging. To prevent colour transfer, avoid using it with light-coloured items, wash it with a neutral detergent, and dry it in the shade. Sweat and light can cause discolouration, so please handle it with care, such as storing it away from sunlight and fluorescent lights. (Walnut)
*Dyed with natural indigo. The colour will fade to a lighter shade with repeated use. As there is a possibility of colour transfer, avoid using it with light-coloured items at first, and wash it with a neutral detergent before drying it in the shade. Each item will have slightly different colour and size. (Natural Indigo, Natural Indigo & Walnut)
