Shipping Notes: This Synergy Duster will be shipped by the seller, who is US based. Therefore it will attract an automatic postage charge of £27 (the standard int'l shipping rate) which will compensate the seller for the charges they occur. The seller is not registered for sales tax so there is no tax to reclaim. UK customers will not pay any import tax or duties. Other countries: depending on your location you may be charged import tax and duties by the customs office in your country of residence. Neither the seller nor The Slow Wardrobe has any control over this.
The Duster is a one-size-fits-all Layercake. As always, the design was based on fitting frames between 5 and 6 foot in height and between UK dress sizes 10 - 26 (EU 38 - 54, US sizes 6 - 22). The measurements in the size guide are taken with the garment lying flat. The front panels overlap a couple of inches when its lying flat, which can be secured with ties if you choose them to be fitted when you place your order. The Duster is designed to be worn loose, so there is a LOT of freedom in terms of sizing.
The Synergy Duster has the same dimensions as the Duster but without the sleeves.
Knitted Sleeves/Shawl Option
The original idea was to add linen yarn and a pattern to knit your own sleeves (with the same shape and length as the sleeves in the regular Dusters) but it has rather taken off as a sleeveless swagger-rich layer to complement other Layercakes.
So now the addition of yarn and a pattern to knit your own sleeves is an optional extra, just like the option to have you Synergy Duster with or without ties.
If you opt to include the knitting kit, your Synergy Duster comes to you with yarn (200gms of Layercake Linen 3-ply) and a pattern to knit sleeves as well as the pattern for the Soepeler long Scarf (in case you prefer to keep the garment without sleeves and knit the Soepeler Scarf instead).
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.
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.
