Caring For Your Garment

This blouse is made using carefully selected linen in navy and the stripe version is a cotton/ linen mix, both chosen for durability, drape and ability to soften beautifully with wear.

  • Machine wash at 30°C
  • Line dry where possible
  • Warm iron if desired on reverse
  • Cool tumble dry

The Story Behind Dorothy

Dorothy is named after my mum. She belonged to a generation that understood the value of good clothing and the importance of repair. She believed a garment should be practical, comfortable and beautifully made. If it wasn't useful, she wasn't interested. This shirt could only ever have been called Dorothy.
