Elegant and stylish, the Helen dress is a beautiful classic. In a quality linen that has been laundered for softness she feels dreamy. Warm enough for cooler months, yet cool enough for summer, Helen is a year-round winner. Featuring elbow length sleeves with a turn up at the cuff. 3 deep inverted pleats front and back create fullness in the A-line skirt. A self tie belt lets you wear it cinched at the waist.
Model is 165cm in height, a UK size 10 and is wearing a size 2.
The Story
This dress is named after my nanna. Born in Withnell, she lived in Withnell all of her life. Helen was a silk weaver at Withnell mill. She was paid a premium as silk weaving was a highly skilled job.

Fabric and Care
100% linen. This linen is Oeko-Tex certified. The dyes used on this cloth are GOTS certified. The supplier is a member of the European Flax-Linen and Hemp alliance. Cool wash and hang to dry or dry flat. Medium iron and press pleats as required.
Linen is anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, hypo allergenic and thermoregulating so a great year round choice.
Wash cool and shake out immediately. Hang to dry naturally. Pleats may need repressing either down to the hem or loosely at the waist, whichever you prefer.
