Introduced for the warmer months of the year in our medium-weight linen, the back panels overlap from one side seam all the way to the other, so even in gale-force winds, you won't be left standing in your underwear.
The other advantage of having the wrap panels in the back rather than the more often-seen front, is that a double panel in the front means a double layer of fabric covering your legs when you sit down; not the best idea during the warmer season!
The wide, sturdy waistband resembles an OBI belt: it doesn't collapse on itself and can be worn either loose or wrapped quite tightly if that gives you the look you are after. The flexibility of the waist measurement also means you can choose whether to wrap this skirt high up on your waist or wear it lower down if that is your preferred look.
The Slow Wardrobe sizes
We follow our own sizing system, recognising that the traditional system of "ladies dress-sizes" does not account for body shape and height. See how The Slow Wardrobe sizes relate to body measurements HERE.
Skirts
These garments are designed to fit a very wide range of sizes and heights, from a UK size 10 to 28. Check these garment measurements to give you an idea of their dimensions. All skirt lengths are measured from the top of the waistband down to the bottom of the hem, along the side seam.

Linen Care & Washing Instructions
Every Layercake has washing labels sewn into them, usually in the left side-seam. All our linen is pre-shrunk, unless stated otherwise and can be machine-washed at 40º C and either line-dried or machine-dried. If you machine-dry them, take them out of the dryer as soon as it finishes and hang them up straightaway, then you will not have to iron them.
Our Linen
Linen is one of the world's strongest textiles and most sustainable fashion choices, creating zero waste as every part of the plant is used (for textiles and food). Our linen is all European grown, yarn-dyed and woven especially for us, then boil-washed to pre-shrink it.

Wearability
Linen is not only a Summer fabric, it is also a natural insulator, providing warmth when it is needed and offering the perfect base for a layered look, trapping air between the layers to keep you cozy year-round.
