Materials

The blue plaid fabric is made of cotton and was crafted in India on a handloom, a process that preserves traditional crafts, creates well-paying jobs in rural areas, and uses no electricity. The lining is made of ethereally soft organic cotton double gauze woven in a GOTS and Fair Trade Certified mill in India that has been hand-dyed by Emily using environmentally friendly fiber-reactive dyes. The milky-white buttons are vintage stock from the 1960s.

Fit

This style runs true to size overall, but may run a bit small on larger busts as it is quite fitted. Check out our size guide here.
