**Update- LAST ONE- medium currently in stock ready to ship

Lightweight linen short dungarees/overalls with button closure, adjustable straps and two big front pockets.

Neon yellow gingham check on a beautiful lightweight linen fabric. This linen is Oeko-Tex certified.
Wash at 30 degrees with a non bio detergent. Do not tumble, shake out and dry flat. Linen will always seize up after washing but as soon as you start to use/wear it the fibres relax again. I like to steam iron my linen while damp but you do you x

Standard sizes available but please choose the custom option and add a note with your order if you need custom measurements or length (no extra cost).

Size Guide:
This garment is designed to have a loose fit, before ordering please remember the important measurement for this garment is around the widest part of your hips

M - UK 14 - garment hip measurement = 120cm (body measurement 104cm)

L - UK 16/18 garment hip measurement = 130cm (body measurement 114cm)

The garment length is regular - so if you are super tall or teeny let me know, I can add or take off body length.

A little bit more info about linen from our supplier:

Linen is naturally stain-resistant, does not pile, and is moth repellent. It is easy to wash as it can sustain high temperatures, is has very little if no shrinkage and is very strong.

It is anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, hypoallergenic and thermoregulating, it will also absorb up 20% moisture before feeling damp.

As the linen fibres have low elasticity (which causes it to crease) it will wear in any areas that are repeatedly folded in the same place for a long time, however, it does have much better abrasion resistance than say cotton.

Eco Credentials:

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 many 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.
