Fabric & Feel
This dress is made using carefully selected European tumbled linen chosen for its unique colours, durability, drape and ability to soften beautifully with wear.
Linen is:
- Breathable
- Temperature regulating
- Naturally biodegradable
- Suitable for year-round layering because of its thermo-regulating properties
The fabric will become softer and more personal with every wash.

The story
Named after me, Paula reflects many of the values that guide Withnell, soft detail, warmth, quiet strength and my love for curved lines.
Sourced with care
Where possible, I choose materials made in the UK and Ireland, or source through long-established UK merchants. For the things that can't be found closer to home, I work with trusted suppliers who share information about where and how their materials are made.
I believe you should know what goes into your clothes. Every Withnell garment comes with its own recipe, listing the materials used, where I sourced them and where they were made.
