100% OEKO-Tex certified linen. In the medium weight linen

Note: Fresh linen is stiff and wrinkles appear harsher. We do not use "stone-washed" linen (a process that can expedite the decomposition of your fabric). It is new and ready to be broken in by you. Worn linen eventually takes on a buttery-soft feel and more relaxed appearance, where wrinkles blend in to an enriched texture. If you would like to freshen it up again, simple wash, hang dry, and iron. Or go the extra mile and starch it like twas done in yore.

Shortening ~ this item can be shortened by a few inches or even turning into a "crop top". It will no longer have the slits on the side, only be shortened and hemmed to your desired length. The cut fabric will be reused for other items like headscarves.
Narrowing shoulders or shortening sleeves ~ this is possible but may require additional fees.
Moving buttons so wrist is tighter.
Things you should know:
Items that are customized are considered "custom" and are most likely unavailable for returns afterward. In case of doubt, feel free to email me beforehand to answer any questions. Exception: moving buttons, as this does not effect the overall structure of the piece.
Customizing items can add up to a week of processing time depending on where I am at in the order queue.
If the customization request is approved, then order will be fulfilled. If it is not approved, you will hear from me and we can decide to alter the request or cancel the order.
