Inspired by extant examples of mens and womens undergarments from the 16th-17th centuries, these linen shifts are fit for all. Made of sumptuous medium weight linen and lots of it, to provide ample volume and beautiful silhouette. Wear as-is for a lightweight summer dress or nightgown, or layered under other garments.
Features:
Wide fabric body gathers into a neatly pressed band collar, sleeves, gathered at the wide shoulders.
String ties at the neck and deep neckline
Buttoned cuffs featuring buttons made of recycled cow bone
Hand wash or machine wash on cold with similar colors. Low heat tumble dry ok, hang dry recommended.
Handmade in Lithuania.
Materials:
100% OEKO-Tex certified linen. In the medium weight linen, this garment is breezy and grows buttery soft with wear.
Buttons made of recycled cow bone (for white shifts) and horn (for black and red shifts)
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.
Care:
Hand wash or machine wash on cold with similar colors.
Low heat tumble dry ok, hang dry recommended.

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.
