We first ran Thistlebird back in the summer of 2022, and have had so many requests for its return since then! It's finally back in the same beautiful, pre-washed linen as the original.

This classic, button-front dress is one you can live in all summer long! Simple and elegant - it has front patch pockets and a gently gathered skirt, and it closes with a long row of mottled buttons at the front.

The fabric is an OEKO-TEX certified 100% linen, which means that every component of the material has been tested and found to be free of harmful substances. This dress can be washed on a cold delicate cycle and hung to dry.

Finished measurements of the actual dress in the bust/waist/hip, in inches, are:

2   - 34 / 30 / 54
4   - 35 / 31 / 55
6   - 36 / 32 / 56
8   - 37 / 33 / 57
10 - 39 / 35 / 59
12 - 41 / 37 / 61
14 - 43 / 39 / 63
16 - 45 / 41 / 65
18 - 48 / 44 / 68
20 - 51 / 47 / 71

Please note that in natural, high quality linen, there are sometimes slubs in the fabric, which are slightly thickened ares of the spun flax fibres. They have a slightly raised texture and can take dye differently than the rest of the fabric. These textured areas are not considered to be imperfections, but rather a characteristic of the structure of the spun thread, and therefore a natural quality of linen fabric. They don’t affect the integrity of the material in any way, and are a part of the rustic, natural character of high quality linen.
