    This Kirsten Dress by UMIFORM is made in a gorgeous European milled linen 185gsm with contrasting remnant linen fabric facings and pockets. 

    This beautiful quality fabric is produced in small batches in Eastern Europe where there is a strong heritage of spinning and weaving linen fabric. Made by a mill who uses electricity supplied solely from renewable energy sources and OEKO Tex certified.

    Features inseam pockets and facings made from Vintage cottons from our fabric collection, mid-length sleeves that cover the upper arm with a cuff and pleat. The waist scoops down at the back giving it a casual easy-to-wear feel with flattering high front waistline. Named after the lovely Kirsten who worked at Woollykins and inspired this dress style.

    More about linen:

    Linen is naturally stain resistant, does not pill, and is moth repellent. It is easy to wash and is a very strong fibre. It is anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, hypo allergenic and thermoregulating, it will also absorb up 20% moisture before feeling damp.

    Flax is a strong plant best grown in northern Europe. It needs little or no fertilisers and due to the local climate, little extra water. It doesn’t really require pesticides either as it can grow in poor quality soil. The Advisory Commission Report to the European Parliament stated that flax cultivation has positive effects on eco-system diversity as it allows for an “environmental pause”. One hectare of flax can retain 3.7 tonnes of CO2. Every part of the plant is used, what isn’t used to produce linen can be used to make linseed oil, paper, cattle feed or even soap.

    Linen is therefore almost naturally organic. It is completely biodegradable, recyclable and due to its natural absorbency, it requires less dye than cotton. Linen therefore scores high on the ecological chart.
