HELEN | woven check

Simple and understated, Helen contains many lovely details;  a scooped neckline with stitched front and back neck facings,   gathers create extra swish and fullness in the skirt. The sleeves can be  rolled at the hem to create a cuff at the elbow. Deep side seam pockets  as standard for all your bits and bobs. Helen comes with a belt made using the same material.  The belt is over 2 metres long so that you can style it in different ways. 

Larger sizes have a full bust adjustment for a balanced fit.

Available in four gorgeous coloured checks.

100% linen. Hand or machine wash at 30 degrees. Shake out  and hang to dry naturally.
Medium iron as required
