Details you'll love:

  • Mandarin collar
  • Traditional functional button closure
  • 100% cotton
  • Drawstring waistband
  • In seam side pockets
  • Midi length 
  • Unlined, not sheer

    Designed with love in Singapore. Made with care in Thailand.

     

    This piece is made out of 100% rayon deadstock fabric. This means fabric left over from overproduction usually by larger fashion manufacturers. By using deadstock fabric, we save gallons of water and reduce the amount of textile waste that get sent to the landfills.
    While fabric has been pre-shrunk, some shrinking might still occur during first few washes. Dry cleaning is recommended.
    Alternatively, gentle hand wash me separately in cold water and lay flat to dry for best results. Definitely don't bleach or wring or tumble dry me. Steam iron on medium heat.
    As we use film photography, please refer to fabric swatch for most accurate colour and detail.
